Share your fuzzy friends’ photographs with others
esidents of the Palmetto Bay community of Mangowood were joined by village officials on July 4 for a formal flag-raising ceremony, speeches and other special events. Attending the ceremonies in Mangowood, which has some 450 homes, were Mayor Eugene P. Flinn Jr., Vice Mayor Brian Pariser, Councilmembers Howard Tendrich and Shelley Stanczyk. Each said a few words about how far Palmetto Bay has come in its few years of existence. Mayor Flinn spoke about the resolution of the mitigation issue and said that will help Palmetto Bay avoid the budget problems with which most other municipalities currently are dealing. Emcee for the event was Stanley Kowlessar, president of the Mangowood Association and sponsor of the event.
