📚✨ 100 Years of Greenacres: Royalty, Rain, and the Gift of Reading! ✨📚
Yesterday, members of the GFWC Greater West Palm Beach Woman's Club had an absolutely unforgettable time celebrating the City of Greenacres 100th Birthday Bash at Samuel J. Ferreri Community Park! 🎂🎈
Our dedicated volunteers set up a booth to distribute free books to children and adults in the community. The day was filled with amazing connections. A major highlight was the true honor of meeting the great-great-grandson of Greenacres founder, L.C. Swain! Born right here in Palm Beach County and a lifelong resident of Greenacres, it was a pure pleasure hearing his stories and celebrating his family's incredible legacy with him. 🌳📜
Our book giveaway booth also drew some very special guests! We were thrilled to welcome a member of Congress, a Florida State Legislature representative, and a news reporter from Channel 25. All were given a quick introduction of our club, sharing the rich history of both our GFWC international organization and our local Greater West Palm Beach Woman's Club.
Throughout the day, we had delightful conversations with so many wonderful neighbors from Greenacres and all across Palm Beach County. And while Mother Nature decided to throw a little Florida rain our way, our members jumped right into action, protecting the books from the showers and keeping the smiles bright! 🌦️💪
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, grab a book, and celebrate a century of community with us. We are so proud to serve this city!
