Farewell Party for Joe Kroll

Again, Joe Kroll resigned. No one gives parties to an employee who resigns. Retires, yes. Resigns, no.

The NA Council used its political clout to persuade the city commission to throw in the use of the clubhouse for free three hours. They used Scott Maxwell who was more than willing to put it on the Agenda probably knowing that the CM would be pissed. "Let's stick it to her one more time."

A question can be powerful. In this instance it was just that when Anderson asked if the City would give them free time at the golfcourse to hold this party--waive the fee, he stated. The NA Council and its Chair knew exactly what they were doing. If the neighborhoods are that much in love with Kroll, they should have found another venue without their subtle but very strong arm tactic.

Ryan Anderson, President of the Neighborhood Association Council says,

The Neighborhood Associations of Lake Worth are sponsoring a Farewell send-off for Public Services Director Joe Kroll. Joe is departing his position with the City of Lake Worth to pursue new challenges.

Please join us on Friday, October 21 At the Lake Worth Golf Course Clubhouse From 6:30 to 9:30

Everyone is invited to attend and please bring “party food” to share with all our neighbors. Chips, Dips, Finger Sandwiches or Wraps, Cookies, Appetizers, Veggie Trays, Cheese and Fruit Platters, Fruit Trays and Dips are all good ideas. , Water, Ice Tea and Lemonade will be provided and the Lagoon Bar at the Golf Course will open for purchasing adult beverages or soda.

This is a Lake Worth Neighborly Farewell to show our appreciation to Joe for all he’s done to support our neighborhoods. Tell your Friends and Neighbors. We sincerely Thank the City of Lake Worth for providing the venue and we hope to see you all there.

The Clubhouse is located at the very eastern end of 7th Avenue North. Plenty of FREE parking in the Golf Course parking lot.


Bye, Joe

This is not a surprise Lynn, you need to remember that Anderson used similar tactic to get himself elected to the President of TRNA, it was done unfairly and illegally all to prevent the anarchists from taking over TRNA, just to have control himself.

Kroll did do a lot for the city and was a hard worker, but if he is just resigning and moving on, it is interesting that such a big-to-do is being done for him, it was not like he had worked for the city for decades or anything.

So Lynn will you go to the party to report on this one some more?

Maybe Scott Maxwell has the right idea, and we should all be sticking it to Stanton, perhaps she would get the idea that Enough is Enough.
