Lake Worth Rotary Club and City of Lake Worth Officials to Dedicate Armed Forces Memorial
LAKE WORTH, FL – (November 3, 2017) – The Lake Worth Rotary Club invites the community to the dedication ceremony for the new Armed Forces Memorial on Saturday November 11, 2017 to be held at the Lake Worth Cultural Plaza, located at 414 Lake Avenue. The dedication ceremony will begin immediately following the completion of the City of Lake Worth Veterans Day parade which begins at 11:00am.
The Lake Worth Rotary Club has been planning this special project for the past two years. Club representatives were able to solicit funds and gain the support of City of Lake Worth officials to make this project possible. The memorial pays homage to the five United States branches of service: Air Force, Army, Marine Corps., Navy & Coast Guard in addition to the United State Merchant Marines.
The Rotary Club would like to extend their deep appreciation to the following individuals and organizations who donated time and resources to this project, specifically: Congressman Mark Foley and Donna Foley Winterson (primary sponsor); Jack Richmond friends and family; William Earl friends and family; the Satter family; Drs. Arnold and Howard Greene; Ramiro Rodriguez and family; Karl Easton Jr. friends and family; Henry Stevens Jr. and the Stevens family; Dr. Isaac Marcadis; Mr. Ronald Leeds; Ms. Retha Lowe; Dr. John Endruschat; A-1 Paint Inc.; LULA Lake Worth Arts; Phil Albertz of the Albertz Insurance Agency; the Kruger brothers of Master Brick Pavers; Fred & Ann Menor of Lake Worth Monument and the wonderful City of Lake Worth.
This project, which demonstrates our support for the military, has been a community-led effort made possible by the generous assistance from the community; without their support, this memorial would not have been possible. We encourage the public to attend the dedication of this amazing addition to the community.
