''Who built the skyscrapers that rise like cathedrals in the sky", asked the young boy to his grandfather?

'Who laid the tracks where the train engines roar"?

"Who melted the steel that was forged into automobiles, ships and airplanes" the boy continued to ask?

"It was the hands of labor, the old man replied. Strong, calloused and hard-working that built the foundations of our country".     
 
Let us never forget the men and women who labored to make our country strong and mighty. 

HAPPY LABOR DAY!   

- Commissioner Maria Sachs

Dunkin Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Delray Beach
Commissioner Maria Sachs was proud to "cut the ribbon" on a new Dunkin' Donuts located on the corner of Lyons Road and Atlantic Avenue. 
Flanked by community leaders, Sheriff's Deputies, and a representative from the Boys and Girls Club, the ribbon was cut and free coffee and donuts were served.
In recognition of Dunkin's community ties, the new Manager presented a check for $1,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County. This will be a good spot to drive thru and savor some of their signature coffees on your way to the Turnpike.
Welcome our newest neighbor!
