🚨 URGENT CALL TO ACTION FOR LAKE WALES RESIDENTS! 🚨 The future of the Lake Wales Country Club and our community is at stake. The application to annex the "Heritage Preserve" property into the City of Lake Wales will be heard by the City Commission on November 18th at 6:00 P.M. at the Municipal Administration Building. If this annexation is approved, we will lose the storied golf course FOREVER to housing development. The Loss for Lake Wales Will Be Irreplaceable: A Unique Course Layout: The current golf course features a layout whose quality cannot be equalled within a radius of 25 miles, maybe more.
The ONLY Large Event Venue: The Clubhouse is the only facility capable of hosting 300 people for vital community events, such as weddings, large private parties, and commercial meetings.
Preventing "Bedroom Community" Status: Losing this amenity to housing development accelerates the transformation of Lake Wales into a mere "bedroom community," diminishing our unique character and future as a vibrant, independent city.
  ⛳️ The Solution: The City Must Acquire It for the People! Instead of letting a New Jersey-based owner destroy this amenity for housing, the City should acquire the Lake Wales Country Club for the people and surrounding areas. This is a unique opportunity to secure a truly great amenity for all citizens. f Bartow can successfully run a historic, Donald Ross-designed municipal golf course for its residents, Lake Wales can and should do the same! WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW! 📢 SHOW UP & SPEAK OUT: Join me and others at the City Commission Meeting on Tuesday, November 18th, 6:00 P.M. at the Municipal Administration Building (201 W. Central Avenue). We must ask the City to take action to save and take over the Lake Wales Country Club. 
📧 CONTACT THE COMMISSION: Immediately email or call your City Commissioners and the Mayor. Tell them you OPPOSE the Heritage Preserve Annexation and support the City exploring the acquisition of the property to preserve the golf course and clubhouse as a public amenity. 
🗣️ SIGN THIS PETITION AND SHARE: Make sure every Lake Wales resident sees this urgent call to action. THANK YOU!
