Membership Does Matter
And Our Members Matter to Us
Current Palm Beach Civic Association members are receiving masks in their mailboxes in an effort to keep the community healthy and stop the spread of the coronavirus. All who have renewed their membership for this year were recently mailed two cloth face masks, and we will continue sending masks to all who renew or join.

Let’s all mask up – and fight this pandemic together.

“Wearing a mask helps slow the spread of COVID for you and your community. Do the right thing and wear a mask.” – Judy Goodman, Healthcare Committee Chair
Critical Needs - Impacting Our Greater Community
The Palm Beach Civic Association Executive Committee has approved the establishment of a new committee to determine the next steps in addressing and supporting critical needs in our greater community.

The Critical Needs Initiative Committee co-chaired by Civic Association Directors Michael Picotte and Michael Pucillo, will create the next platform to help bring food to those in need through the holidays. Committee members include: John Brim, Dave Duffy, Leonard Harlan, Brian McIver, Kit Pannill, Gary Patsley, Robin Senior, Ron Terwilliger, and Bill Tiefel. We look forward to sharing opportunities to support this ongoing issue and help alleviate hunger and food insecurity in Palm Beach County.
