March is Women's History Month!

March is Women's History Month and Palmetto Bay is Celebrating Exemplary Women in Our Community!

March is women's history month and, as the Village of Palmetto Bay celebrates our own history with the upcoming 20th Anniversary, we also celebrate the Women of Palmetto Bay. Each week during the month of March, we will acknowledge exemplary women in our community. Those who have made a significant contribution and have had a positive impact in the lives of others. Join us in congratulating these amazing women.

On this, the first week of our Women of Palmetto Bay Campaign, we are recognizing Mary Martinez and Lisa Greer!
