Free Community Fish Fry- Thursday, July 30th at 6pm
Join us for a FREE Community Fish Fry!
This event is about more than a great meal—it's about making sure our community is informed and ready for the upcoming elections.
Here's how it works:
Before placing your FREE fish dinner order, participants will have the opportunity to check their voter registration status. If you're not currently in good standing to vote, our team will provide information, resources, and assistance based on your individual status to help you get election-ready.
Whether you need to register, update your information, or simply verify your voting status, we're here to help.
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors, and join us for an afternoon of food, fellowship, and civic engagement. Together, we can strengthen our community—one meal and one voice at a time.
Leadership Brunch- Saturday, July 18 at 11am
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Foundation of Lake Wales Inc. invites all church leaders, organization leaders, business professionals, and community advocates to join us for a powerful Leadership Breakfast dedicated to strengthening our community through leadership, collaboration, and action.
This special gathering is an opportunity to connect with fellow leaders, share ideas, discuss community needs, and inspire positive change.
Together, we can continue Dr. King’s legacy by leading with purpose, serving with compassion, and building a stronger future for Lake Wales.
Please share this post and invite other leaders in our community!
