Positively positive Lake Worth in the Holiday Spirit: A City on the rebound and proud of it.

Just in case you may have missed this from yesterday, some thoughts about our “positively positive Lake Worth”:

I put together a playlist (see below) of the some of the positively positive presentations made at the Lake Worth City Commission meeting last Tuesday. It was wonderful to watch. We really have a lot to be thankful for in our community. We all know Lake Worth is turning around but sometimes we take many of these things for granted.

What was on display at the beginning of the Commission meeting was the positive, charitable and hopeful look at Lake Worth. I personally lost count of the standing ovations during the presentations.

First, we started with honoring the owners of the Farmer Girl and their long term opening of their doors and hearts to anyone in need of a meal on Thanksgiving Day, without charge. Then the Commission recognized our Fire Rescue Station, singled out as being the best in all of Palm Beach County. And then we were reminded Downtown Lake Worth is the headquarters for the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. They do their best to put out the word about the abundant cultural events occurring, many of them right here in Lake Worth. And the Commission then honored the years of service by our retiring City Clerk, Pam Lopez. There were lots of lighthearted moments during that presentation that you will not want to miss.

To go from one video to another use the "1/4" icon in the top left corner:True to the holiday season, the City of Lake Worth gave itself a gift: honoring the positive in our community and that is not something to dismiss or take lightly, there is a lot of good that goes on in our quirky little City.
