Autumn is my favorite season, it is when “Florida becomes livable outdoors” 

It is when Florida “is still ours” before the rush of holiday tourists. 

It’s when the air smells of spiced apple, pumpkin pies, and the sound of high school football.

Yes, Autumn is my favorite season. Let's all go out and enjoy!

On October 16th at a County facility, a Consular Event was held. The purpose of the event was to assist citizens of Guatemala and El Salvador to register with their country of origin. This event was sponsored together with Palm Beach County, the office of Congresswoman Lois Frankel as well as The Guatemalan-Maya Center.
