A great Village Facebook post from 2015. It was my pleasure at that
time to recognize the team behind the annual Palmetto Bay Boat Parade and Food
Drive: (back) Dave Lundy and Noel Schael, and (front, l to r) Luis Fernandez,
young Matthew and Victor, and Rainer Schael.
The Palmetto Bay Canal Association had been holding
an annual Boat Parade and Canned Food Drive over many years. It provided a wonderful
opportunity for friends and neighbors to get together as a community and
express their holiday spirit through brightly lit boats cruising throughout the
Village’s picturesque canals.
A very important
component of the Boat Parade is the Canned Food Drive. Each year, the members
of the Canal Association encourage boaters and parade watchers to donate canned
goods that assists the Village of Palmetto Bay in its annual food drive effort.
The cooperation and collaboration that the Village receives from the donations
provided at the Boat Parade greatly increases the number of food items that we
can provide to those less fortunate. Residents Rainer and Noël Schael have remained
dedicated, tireless, and consistent in their coordination and leadership of the
Palmetto Bay Canal Association and Canned Food Drive. With the service of these
outstanding residents, the Village benefits from the festive and fun Boat
Parade, but also feeds those who are in need of our help. Their giving spirit
is commendable and invaluable.
Thank you to the Palmetto Bay Canal
Association for your spirit of community and good will to all!
