Dear The Glades Initiativ:
Our next Hot Topic Luncheon will be very timely and very interesting. Our guests for Insights from Tallahassee will be Florida Senator Lori Berman (D) and Florida Representative Anne Gerwig (R). They will discuss the upcoming 2026 session and the important legislation that is expected. Bring your questions!
The luncheon will be held in the Main Lounge of the Fountains Country Club, 4476 Fountains Dr, Lake Worth. Enjoy a three-course luncheon and the spectacular view through the room's glass walls overlooking the golf course and lake.
Members and Non-members are Welcome!
