From Mark Parrilla--
Several weeks ago, after being hired by the Mulligan's management team, I call Melissa Cox, the hiring manager, and asked for a gift certificate for Carol and Paul Allen to add to a welcome basket I put together for them since they are now officially Lake Worth residents. I received a call from Melissa and she told me she spoke to George Hart, Owner of Mulligan's Beach House Bar &Grill, and he said he couldn't give me a gift coupon because that was too small a gesture for this disabled couple who lost everything two months ago in a house fire. (thus the Wednesday all day fundraiser for the Allen's)
Dr. Manoj Patel, DDS donated two free brand new sets of
dentures; Pam Triolo, our Mayor and her husband Mike cooked and served them a
delicious meal at my home and the icing on the cake was the close to $3,000.00
we raised in donations for them yesterday at Mulligan's soft opening. I have
attached video footage of the dinner and the link to Peter Schaller's story of
CBS 12 News. Lake Worth is a great city with some wonderful earthbound
angels! We are Lake Worth--not LakeWorthLess.

Way to go, Mulligans and Mark.
ReplyDeleteAlso, kudos for the Mayor and her husband, Michael, for cooking a meal for the Allens. Your Mom taught you good life lessons, Mayor. This was an aspiring video by Mark who is always giving back to those in need. We indeed have remarkable people in Lake Worth.
