Community Connection | It’s nice to be recognized – and to recognize others

The North Fort Myers Civic Association has been recognizing the residents of North Fort Myers with our Community Service Awards for five years now. We would like to think that the residents who receive them feel appreciated for what they do no matter how big or small.
The NFMCA celebrated our third year in a row for The Breeze and North Fort Myers Neighbor “Best of Award” for Community Organization.
I want to tell you about the award I received recently on behalf of the North Fort Myers Civic Association.
We were invited to the Nations Choice Church and WorshipCiti Church Double Impact Conference to accept the 2025 Impact Award. After being escorted to my front row seat by Overseer Patrick Miller, I was reminded of all the wonderful things the NFMCA does for our great community and presented with a beautiful award for our efforts and successes. Thank you so much for your acknowledgment of all we do and try to do.
It IS nice to be recognized!
So, in saying this let me remind you that you can nominate your person or business all year to be recognized and be a Community Service Award recipient. It is a great feeling for the giver as well as the receiver.
Check our Facebook and website for more information on the Summer Splash Saturdays which will be coming up once school is out for the summer. I look forward to seeing all of you poolside.
I invite you to attend our meetings, held on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the North Fort Myers Recreation Center located behind the North Fort Myers Library.
We will welcome Noelle Branning, Lee County’s chief deputy tax collector, and Matt Caldwell, Lee County property appraiser and former state representative, to our next monthly meeting on May 13.
This presentation is intended to help community members better understand property assessments, tax services and other essential resources that impact homeowners, businesses and residents.
This will be a great opportunity to gain insights and help ensure we are all informed about process that affect us directly.
