Lake Park SACE Community Activities

The Society participated in the Lake Park Rust Market, a large monthly market of vendors who have saved older and antique collectables. We shared our booth with other non profits, like Change My Community and we provided virtually all of the 1000 toys that Santa distributed to the kids in attendance. Santa is ably played by none other than Society founding board member John Linden, a past Lake Park Commissioner. It was a beautiful day with many hundreds of shoppers going up and down Park Avenue in downtown Lake Park.  Pictured is Santa with Society board member Marie Lourdes Rosemberg, a Haitian community organizer, and her dear friend and Society volunteer Guerly who always comes out to support Society activities.

In an effort to bring public awareness to the work of the Society, we participated in the first annual, "Lake Park Multicultural Event" held at Kelsey Park. We had information to distribute, a raffle prize for the participants,  and met with the Mayor of Lake Park about our concerns of the day. Pictured are Michael Steinhauer and 

Ralph Moscoso meeting with Mayor Michaud. Society Board member Marie Lourdes Rosemberg, a community organizer in the Haitian community, always participates in our events and always is able to coordinate volunteers to help staff the Society booth. 

 The Society was so proud to be one of only 2 or 3 non profits to participate in a free community BBQ event, sponsored by the Lake Park Community Church. The church is in a rebuilding stage to attract more members, and they have appreciated the mission and intentions of the Lake Park Society to Advance Civic Engagement. They have been a good partner, offering us meeting space and other amenities so we can also reach out to Lake Park residents. And the BBQ was delicious!
