ON THE COVER: The Color Wall at Mass Market. A collaborative project between Haus 820 and the Lakeland CRA and one of the best selfie spots in town.

Happy New Year!

We begin this year with a curated list of 50 interesting things to do in Polk County in 2021.

We’ve even included a checklist at the end, so you can mark them off as you go. We also talk with a high school senior who was born in Latvia and is now thriving in Florida. Learn how she made that journey and overcame so many obstacles. She’s a pretty amazing young woman.

As we begin this new year, I challenge you to think about what you’re grateful for. Is it a person? I challenge you to TELL them. We could all use more kindness, be the person that spreads it.

I found the poem below and wanted to share it. I can so easily fall into a dark place and convince myself that I’m doing everything wrong. I am my own worst enemy. I’m going to keep this next to my desk this year, so I can reflect back on it. I hope you find inspiration from it too.

Thanks for picking us up every month & I hope to see you around town! Read our current magazine and past issues at havenmagazines.com. Keep tagging your posts with #lkldhaven and you might find it in the February issue!!

LOCAL NEWS WORDS Barry Friedman/LkldNow.com

3 DOWNTOWN RESTAURANTS EXPANDING OUTDOOR DINING THROUGH PARKLETS

DINING OPTIONS DIVERSIFYING ALONG LAKE MIRROR

LAKELAND TRAINER, POOCH WIN AKC TRICK DOG COMPETITION

NEIGHBORS PROTEST PLANS FOR 2 CELL TOWERS NEAR HARDEN BOULEVARD

TWO NEW PLAQUES HONOR FALLEN OFFICERS AT LPD MEMORIAL

Three restaurants in the heart of downtown Lakeland are expanding their outdoor dining onto curbside parklets. Those are platforms that are being built in up to three onstreet parking spaces outside the eateries. The three dining spots are Frescos Southern Kitchen, Harry’s Seafood Bar and Grille and Nineteen61. They’re getting grants of up to $10,000 each from the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority to participate in the parklet pilot project.

Dining options are expanding along Lake Mirror as downtown development marches eastward. Plenty, newly opened at The Joinery, emphasizes the health attributes of its Mediterranean-inspired bowls and plates; diners can add skewers with several protein options. Around the corner at the Poor Porker, look for burgers each weekend starting this month as Adler’s installs a food truck, expanding from its two current East Polk brickand-mortar locations.

An active imagination and canine wizardry helped Lakeland dog trainer Debbi Snyder and her border collie Amos fetch the top prize in the American Kennel Club’s Trick Dog Competition. Snyder and a friend produced a video, “Harry Pawter and the Sorceror’s Bone,” that shows Amos performing tricks following a plot reminiscent of a J.K. Rowling novel with a similar name. While Amos rode a skateboard and jumped through a simulated fireplace and some quidditch hoops, we were relieved to learn that no animals were harmed in the making of this video.

Most people want strong cellphone connections but they don’t necessarily want the tower that enables the cell signals in their neighborhood.

That was the case when Lakeland city commissioners rejected a proposal for a new cell tower on a large wooded lot at Ariana and Harden after neighbors protested the plan.

Within a month, the city planning board was considering another tower location, this one along a stretch of Harden Boulevard surrounded by mobile homes and apartments. City planners, who have signaled their skepticism of the latest proposal, will produce a formal recommendation before the planning board’s scheduled Jan. 20 vote on a permit for the tower.

Two new memorial plaques have been added to the five that were already in place at the Fallen Heroes Memorial at the Lakeland Police Department. They honor Officers Ken Foley and Paul Dunn, who died during the previous year. The carvedglass markers are placed along a somber marble monument facing Massachusetts Avenue in a brick plaza near the main entrance to the police station.

MULTIPLE EVENTS HELD IN MEMORY OF DAVID AND EDIE HENDERSON

COVID-19 NUMBERS RISE AS HOSPITALS AWAIT VACCINES

STARGEL CAPS HER LEGISLATIVE CAREER AS BUDGET CHAIR

LAKELAND NATIVE MIZELLE CONFIRMED AS A U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE

BOUTIQUE EXPANDS FROM ONLINE TO A DIXIELAND SHOP

A candlelight vigil, a solemn church service, lakeside memorials and neighborhood Christmas caroling were some of the ways friends and family remembered David and Edie Yates Henderson. David, a lawyer-turned-developer, and Edie, who headed a CPA firm and was elected to three terms on the Lakeland City Commission, were murdered in their Lake Morton home in what police say was a random attack. In addition to the ceremonies, the Hendersons’ family asked that friends remember them through donations to local charities.

After new COVID-19 cases in Polk County dropped in early fall from last summer’s peak, the numbers started rising again in November and escalated more in December. The Polk school district suspended all athletic practices and competitions for nearly three weeks after more than 50 student-athletes tested positive, many of the cases stemming from a Lakeland wrestling tournament. At Lakeland Regional Health, officials spent December eagerly awaiting shipments of newly sanctioned COVID-19 vaccines.

Lakeland Republican Kelli Stargel caps her legislative career as chairman of the Florida Senate’s powerful Appropriations Committee for the next two years. She was appointed to the position by new Senate President Wilton Simpson, a Lakeland native who lives in Trilby. The position puts Stargel in a key budget role during a period when legislators face tough decisions on a $5.4 billion shortfall brought on by the pandemic and tourism declines.

Lakeland native Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, 33, becomes a federal judge in Tampa after a 49-41, party-line confirmation by the U.S. Senate. She was valedictorian at Lakeland Christian School in 2005 and a graduate of the University of Florida Law School. Her nomination by President Trump became controversial when a letter from the American Bar Association praised her reputation and resume — which includes a clerkship with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas — but questioned her relatively short legal career of eight years and lack of trial experience.

A Lakeland mom and entrepreneur whose business blossomed on social media will expand her women’s clothing boutique to brick and mortar in Dixieland. Allison Hodges gained a Facebook following through upbeat videos when she launched Whiskey Way Boutique online in March. As her fan base and sales grew, she decided it was time to open a physical store and has been readying her shop at 947 S. Florida Ave.

Instead of making a list of everything you want to change about yourself, make a list of everything you have to be grateful for. And then do it again the next day.

This year and all that follow, remember that kindness to yourself and others can change the world, so there’s a bonus listing for you – #51: be kind. Whether you check off each box or only a few from our list, I hope 2021 brings you fulfillment, joy, creativity, and clarity in the process.

shop a farmer’s market Familiar faces and fresh fruits and veggies – what could be better? Shopping at a farmer’s market is a great way to interact with the community’s vibrant businesses, farmers, and makers. Every Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm in the BB&T parking lot across from Grove Roots, the pet-friendly Winter Haven Farmers Market draws crowds to its collection of vendors who offer fresh vegetables, freshly-baked bread and pastries, jam, coffee, plants and more.

Stroll Kentucky Ave. for produce, food vendors, kombucha, and other odds and ends every Saturday from 8 am to 2 pm (closed during the month of August).

find your perfect coffee spot

polk museum of art living wall

A cup of coffee is a convergence for friendships, business meetings, and ideas. Grab your laptop and get some work done or take a minute to sit and finish that book you’ve been meaning to read. Explore a few of the local coffeehouses, try them all out and settle on your ideal coffee spot, maybe even down to the perfect table. A few of our favorites are Black & Brew, Concord, Mitchell’s, Unfiltered, and Hillcrest. If you’re on the east side, check out Amonie Jo’s, N+1, and Richard’s!

What’s your favorite place to sit and sip?

Polk Museum of Art consistently presents rich and interesting exhibits for patrons to experience – and admission is free. Breathing new life, quite literally, into the Polk Museum of Art’s outdoor sculpture courtyard is their Living Wall. If you haven’t been yet – go. A once blank wall now drips with lush shaggy greenery making for a tranquil piece of living art. Admire it, breathe it in, take a selfie.

go old school at silver moon drive-in This iconic Lakeland drive-in movie theater opened over seventy years ago. Stop in their snack bar for candy and popcorn before parking it for an evening of cinema beneath the stars. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Silver Moon makes me think of the drive-in scene in Grease, “Sandy, you just can’t walk out of a drive-in!”

IG @silver_moon_drive_in

sweet dreams are made of this Here’s a listing for all your gumdrop dreams and Sour Patch wishes. For a gigantic robot, classic sci-fi flicks, import candies, and craft chocolates, visit Ivy and Ella at Confection. For a more nostalgic citrusy sugar high, make a trip to Davidson of Dundee or Webb’s Candy Shop. In Lakeland, Rocket Fizz has a large, out of this world sweets selection.

show your appreciation for essential workers For those who make a living putting others before themselves – show some love. Do something nice for first responders, teachers, and healthcare professionals like picking up their lunch tab, sending a gift certificate, donating to a teacher’s wish list, or just saying, “Thank you for what you do. You are appreciated.”

flutter over to the auburndale rotary butterfly garden Take a peaceful outing to this butterfly garden featuring over 30 different types of Florida-Friendly plants (native and non-native). According to their website, “The plant selection has been designed to attract a wide range of Central Florida butterfly species to feed on the nectar of our flowering plants. There are also several species of flora that serve as host plants to particular butterflies. For example, Milkweed is the exclusive breeding ground for the popular Monarch Butterfly. Similarly, the Florida State Butterfly, the Zebra Longwing, uses Passion Flower to lay its eggs.”

unBEERlievable options Beer… beer as far as the eye can see. Cheers to the many fantastic breweries and taprooms around! Polk County has some heavy hitters when it comes to craft brews.

take a culinary trip around the joinery

pints and pinball

This upscale Lakeland food hall gives us all the flavors and feels. Make it a priority to get to each of their vendors this year (we bet you’ll do it more than once). Bite into a sushi burrito from Ato, a Neapolitan wood-fired pizza from Ava, or a Mediterranean-inspired bowl from Plenty. Give in to a puffy taco or two from Gallito Taqueria and a scoop of Mayday’s handcrafted artisan ice cream. We know you’ll be raving about the ramen and Japanese street snacks from Sabu and the killer burgers from Super Duper Spot. Imbibe with a craft beer or cocktail from The Bar and your day is complete.

There’s nothing like spirits and skeeball to take your mind off things. But where can you drink AND play fun games? The Rec Room and Galaxy Bar, of course. The Rec Room is a bar boasting video games, arcades, and other recreational pastimes. Shoot some hoops, tee up at their golf simulator, or play a round of tipsy skeeball. Another stellar stop is Galaxy Bar, a blast from the past retro arcade bar. Galaxy Bar has it all – cocktails, tunes, pinball, and over 25 classic arcade games.

go skydiving Ah yes, the old proverb: “If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.” But that’s not the right ‘altitude’ to have! At Jump Florida Skydiving in Lake Wales, you can take a tandem leap from an airplane from 11,000 to 18,000 feet in the air. Take the plunge and opt for photos and video to commemorate your adrenaline-inducing dive.

19

get thrifty Thrifting is kind of like mystery shopping. You don’t have to have an idea of what you want without coming out of the store with something special. Shop for a stylish outfit, funky furniture, or odds and ends that speak to you. Stop in a local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Habitat ReStore for some treasures. Also, check out Saint Matthews Thrift Shop, St. John’s Thrift Store for Missions in Winter Haven, and Peace River Center Thrift Shoppe in Lakeland, and Top Buttons in Winter Haven, Lakeland, and Bartow.

donate Consider donating to a local nonprofit like Polk Pride, food pantries or the SPCA if you have a little extra to give.

Provide opportunities for local youth by making a monetary donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Polk County or Girls Inc., or drop off supplies to pet shelters, Talbot House Ministries, Women’s Resource Center, or kidsPACK to name a few.

Give boredom the axe at Ax-Caliber Axe Venue and Coffee House. Picture this: you drink a cup of coffee; you’re freakin’ jacked on caffeine. Next, someone gives you an axe and it’s all completely legal. But really, it sounds like a good time.

Ax-Caliber is Polk County’s first axe venue and coffee house, boasting food, beer & wine, locally-roasted Caliber Coffee, 14 lanes for axe throwing, pool tables, games, and big screen TV’s. AND, Military and first responders get a free cup of coffee and half off on meals when in uniform.

ride the van fleet trail

snap a photo at southgate

Since we spent the entirety of last year being couch potatoes, let’s get some sun, fresh air, and exercise! Take a leisurely (and socially distant) ride down 29.2 mile, 8-foot wide Van Fleet Trail. The General James A. Van Fleet State Trail will introduce you to a medley of landscapes to take in from pine flatwoods, cattle ranches, former citrus lands, swamps, and bottomland forest. A few more trails to do sick wheelies on are Circle B Bar Reserve and the TECO Auburndale Trail.

This is one for the scrapbook. If you don’t already have a selfie with the nifty Southgate Shopping Center arche, grab your polaroid. The South Florida Avenue shopping center was built in 1957 and is famously known for appearing in Tim Burton’s 1990 cult classic “Edward Scissorhands” starring Johnny Depp and Winona Rider. The Southgate sign is retro in all its glory and perfect for the gram or to send to Gram Gram if you’re here for college or just passing through.

take a self-guided public art tour

hashtag it!

Our area is abundant with inspiring murals, sculptures, fountains, and gardens. Create a map with all the public art you’d like to admire and make a day (or several) of it. A few ideas to start your list are Hollis Gardens, “The Calm” mural in Winter Haven, public art in Munn Park, the Lemon Street Promenade in Lakeland, and the Gillian Fazio mural in Lake Wales.

We love to see what our readers are up to. When you snap a selfie, photo of your pet, or a good meal you had around town to post to Facebook or Instagram, use the hashtags #kindachill when you’re in east Polk and #lkldhaven when you’re in Lakeland, and your post might be in our next issue of Haven or LKLD!

adopt a pet or help a pup find its furever home

tee off Though I’m more of a putt-putt girl myself, Polk County has its fair share of beautiful golf courses. Enjoy a bit of luxury at Streamsong Golf Resort, practice your drive at Dundee Road Golf Range, or play a few holes (or fore!) at Cypresswood Golf and Country Club, or the Cleveland Heights Golf Course.

If you’re looking to expand your family by roughly four paws, consider adoption. SPCA Florida, The Humane Society, The Polk County Bully Project, and other area shelters are full of sweet animals looking for a good home. If you already have a full doghouse, try a Doggy Date at SPCA Florida.

Through this program, you can take a dog to hang out for the day. Not only do they make the best company, but it also allows adoptable dogs to interact outside of SPCA and exposes them to potential new best friends.

take an orange grove tour If you haven’t done this at least once, we might have to take your Florida card away. The sights, the smells, the tasty citrus, Ridge Island Groves offers grove tours at their Haines City location where you can pick an orange right from the tree. Take a drive through Babson Park and Frostproof for stunning hillside grove views. If you take Highway 27 through Lake Wales to get there, you’ll notice the Florida’s Natural plant. Fun fact: Florida’s Natural started 85 years ago, and is one of the largest co-ops of citrus growers in the world, according to their website. You can even take a trip to their visitor’s center, The Grove House, to learn more about their citrus history, sample juice, and pick up a keepsake!

write a letter A handwritten note can be just the thing to brighten someone’s week. Checking on friends and family via social media, email, and Zoom is nice, but there’s an extra touch of humanity and kindness attached to a physical letter. Strike up a correspondence with a pal or let your grandma know you’re thinking of her. You can even support local businesses with your snail mail endeavor by purchasing stationery, note cards, and stickers at local gift shops. havenmagazines.com

Here are a few noteworthy night spots. The Best of Haven 2020 winner for Best Patio is Tempo 1930, followed by Fire and The Twisted Prop Bar & Grille. You can’t go wrong with the recent Florida Trends Magazine Golden Spoon Winner, Nutwood, too. They have year-round lights strung on their patio for the most romantic glow.

spook hill The sign posted just before Spook Hill reads: “Ages ago an INDIAN TOWN on Lake Wailes lake was plagued with raids by a HUGE GATOR. The town’s GREAT WARRIOR Chief and the gator were killed in a FINAL BATTLE that created the huge swampy depression nearby. The chief was buried on its north side. Later PIONEER HAULERS coming from the old ARMY TRAIL atop the ridge above found their horses LABORING HERE… at the foot of the ridge … and called it Spook Hill. IS THE GATOR SEEKING REVENGE, OR THE CHIEF PROTECTING HIS LAND???” Then it states the instructions: Stop car on white line, place in neutral and let it roll back. Do you dare?!?!?!

shop and dine small, often Show your love for local, not just on Shop Small Saturday, but every day. Meeting a friend for lunch or coffee? Opt for a locally-owned restaurant or coffee shop. Whether you’re looking for a book, birthday card, or new blinds, make a small business your first choice.

learn about polk county’s history Explore remnants from an era gone by at the Polk County History Center, including artifacts like fossils, clothing, fishing lures, agricultural equipment, and military relics.

The History Center, once the Polk County Courthouse, has a collection including “natural and cultural objects related to Polk and the greater Central Florida area that represent our history from pre-Columbian to present-day eras. The artifacts on display at the museum represent individuals, cultural groups, and events significant to the region.”

go ice skating Pull out your warm clothes and go to a public skate at Lakeland Ice Arena. A friend of mine who moved to Winter Haven from up north said she loves it when Florida gets a cold snap. Not because of the change in weather, but because of the change in wardrobe. Most Floridians don’t so much have a “winter wardrobe” as a bunch of warm, sort of mismatched items of clothing we pull out in a panic when it drops below 70. She loves to see what sort of wacky winter wear people step out in. And really, what better place to outfit watch than a Central Florida ice rink during a public skate?

WORDS Tara Crutchfield

Laura is Limitless Laura Prazdnicane, 18-years-old, is a senior at All Saints Academy.

She transcends academically and socially, earning high marks in her honors classes. She speaks three languages, has a part-time job, is involved in extracurricular clubs, and was crowned homecoming queen this year. “Laura has a heart… there’s something special about her. She’s an old soul,” said Ashley Bell Barnett. A quiet confidence radiates as Laura speaks about the life she’s had – the one that brought her to America from an orphanage in Latvia.

circumstance, it’s made her better and more understanding and more compassionate. She sees the world through a better lens than I could ever perceive the world,” said Ashley.

Last fall, donning a sparkly black dress, Laura Prazdnicane was crowned All Saints Academy’s 2020 Homecoming Queen. “I felt really honored to be crowned homecoming queen. I honestly was not expecting it because this is only my third year at ASA, and I’m a foreigner. Most of the other kids that were running for the king and queen have been here since the pre-k,” she said. “When I lived in Latvia and when I would watch the “American movies,” I always wondered what it’s like to be chosen by the student body. We don’t have homecomings or proms in Latvia. Therefore, I thought that something like that would never happen to me. Girls in the movies usually are popular, but I’m not like them at all.” She described winning the homecoming court with her boyfriend, Kyle Meadows, as an “amazing experience.”

“I grew up in Latvia in a town called Jelgava,” she began. Laura was just two when her mother passed away. She and her younger brother lived with their father after their mother’s death. Her father struggled with alcoholism, and at six-years-old, she and her brother went to an orphanage. Two years later, Laura would meet Wesley and Ashley Barnett, changing each other’s lives forever.

The Barnetts worked with an organization based out of Texas called Orphan Outreach to go on a mission trip to Latvia. They visited an orphanage on the Russian border and another in Jelgava.

Though she is All Saints royalty, Laura doesn’t let the crown get in the way of her activities with Key Club, National Honors Society, as a backstage manager in the theatre program at her school, and her job as the babysitter for three young boys. She plans to start playing tennis this year too.

In the Jelgava orphanage, the Barnetts met 8-year-old Laura Prazdnicane.

Laura remembers meeting Ashley for the first time. “She came on a mission trip to help kids with family issues and to talk about Jesus,” she said. “I met her, and we kind of just got really close. […] I think I saw her for only about two days. I didn’t know much about her, and I didn’t speak good English, so it’s funny that we got attached.”

Laura is uninhibited in the pursuits of her interests, be them art or academia. Last year, she and a friend created a sculpture project in their NuVu class. “Our project got chosen for the upcoming park “Bonnet Springs Park” in Lakeland. We got to work with professionals to make the sculpture real. It was an amazing experience, and I’m super excited to see my sculpture in a park,” she said.

“We did have a connection,” said Ashley. “Laura was so innocent with her little smile, and regardless of not speaking the same language, you could feel the love between us in those days that we served. [...] When we left, my heart just broke. Wesley and I were on a little charter bus to leave the orphanage and I can remember her little handprints were up on the window. She said, ‘Don’t leave, don’t leave.’”

Bolstered by her accomplishments and exemplary grades, Laura was accepted to Florida Southern College. The high school senior is still exploring her career options. “At first, I wanted to be a doctor because I wanted to help people,” she said. “I want to help people because Ashley has helped me so much, and I want to do the same thing for others. […] Now I feel I want to go into business because I want to be really successful. I want to be the opposite side to my family – I want to do well.”

“I don’t know if we knew we needed to do more or if God planted a seed in our heart,” Ashley continued. “I feel like her story was already written before we were even involved. She was just a special girl. […]

We didn’t find her; she found us.”

Surrogate sister Ashley Bell Barnett believes Laura is limitless. “Her confidence is definitely one of her brightest qualities, and I think she’s destined to do wonderful things whatever she chooses in life.”

Laura and the Barnetts stayed in contact, and Laura would come to Winter Haven and stay with them during Christmas and summer breaks. She eventually met her biological aunt, who then became her guardian in Latvia, before being given the opportunity to move to the United States for school.

Opportunities have undeniably propelled Laura, but it is something innate which navigates her future and her past. Internal forces of courage and unrelenting work ethic – the courage to leave Latvia and move across the world, the courage to pursue things that interest her and excellence in her studies, and the drive to achieve it.

“In Latvia, I went to a boarding school. It was a good place, it was just away from my brother all the time and my grandparents, and it was a really small school,” said Laura, noting the added difficulty of finding a good college to attend there.

Complimenting these traits of strength and resilience are humility, gratitude, and a giving heart. “I’m really thankful for my family that I have now. They show me what it’s like to have a real family, somebody that cares for you,” she said.

“They asked me if I would want to come here for school, and I said, ‘Of course!’… I never thought I would have a chance like this to have a good education and family.” Laura has been here for three years now, living with Ashley’s parents, Melony and Robbie Bell. “They are like my family,” she said of the Bells and Barnetts.

Laura says her family has helped her beyond measure. “And that’s what I want to do in the future – I want to help people because they’ve shown me what it’s like when somebody helps and cares for you when nobody was. They opened my eyes.”

Much of Laura’s recent life is colored brightly with memories of school, friends, and family, but almost two years ago, her dad passed away.

She was in the United States when he died and traveled back to Latvia to attend his funeral.

Though loss and trauma lace through the fabric of her life story, Laura uses these threads as motivation to remain thankful for everything.

“You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow,” she said.

As with every other traumatic circumstance dealt her by life, she continued to stay positive and work hard. “She’s been through so much trauma in her life, but she’s still so compassionate, and so loving, and so caring, and wants to do more for herself than what her circumstance would behold. [...] Instead of being bitter about

“One day, I was happy, outside, playing with my brother. We were always alone, but it was still fun. The next day, police came and took us. You never know what’s going to happen. But also, now I’m here, and I never knew that would happen,” she smiled.

100 Days of Giving As part of their 100-year anniversary celebration, Citizens Bank & Trust announced 100 Days of Giving, an opportunity for qualified Polk County non-profit organizations to apply for part of a $100,000 grant fund. Since 1920, Citizens Bank & Trust has been a stable and loyal partner with the communities they serve.

This grant fund, designed to address local community needs, continues their commitment of giving by helping organizations that are making a difference to improve the lives of Polk County citizens. We asked President and CEO Greg Littleton about the initiative.

GL: No one could have expected what 2020 has brought us, especially nonprofit organizations that rely on a consistent stream of funding to provide badly needed services. Many nonprofits are people-facing, and when social distancing was put into place, this took a huge toll on the services they could provide. When you hear of the struggles our local residents were facing – needing food, shelter, and medical help, it wasn’t a question of should we help; it was a question of how we would and how we could best assist.

Q: Citizens Bank & Trust has chosen to celebrate its 100th anniversary by celebrating local nonprofit organizations.

Why was this form of celebration important to Citizens Bank & Trust?

Q: As you reflect on your time with Citizens Bank & Trust and its role in the community over the last 100 years, what are you most proud of? What qualities or business practices do you think has made Citizens Bank & Trust such a cornerstone institution in Polk County?

GL: Supporting the communities that we serve has always been very important to our bank and at the very core of our mission. These locally-based organizations are the driving force in helping those in our own backyard. These local heroes are perfect examples of care and compassion, giving back and lending a hand to those in need. As local bankers who work for, live in, and support this wonderful community we all call home, each and every one of you are the reason we’re able to celebrate our 100th year in business. We’re humbled and thankful, so we thought the best way to express our gratitude was by giving back!

GL: Being a 100-year-old, family-owned, third-generation business based entirely in Polk County means we truly understand our community. We believe in putting people first, from our loyal family of customers to our Citizens Bank & Trust work-family. I really believe that if you consistently try to do the right thing, people will take notice and appreciate that philosophy. We also believe that if employees enjoy what they do, that it is passed along in each customer interaction and experience. I am proud of our bank and its accomplishments. I am proud of the countless families and businesses we have had the pleasure of serving, and at times helping, over the years. I am proud of our history and our legacy, and I am proud of the support we are able to give to our community.

Q: During any year, $100,000 worth of grant funds would mean a great deal to nonprofit organizations within our community. Perhaps this year it means more.

What difference do you hope 100 Days of Giving makes to those organizations and the community at large?

Q: The 100 Days of Giving celebration will likely inspire other businesses and regular citizens alike. How would you encourage those businesses and community members to make “giving” a priority in their work and lives?

GL: Our hope is that the funds can assist these organizations in continuing to serve those who need it the most. We’ve seen the financial impact 2020 has had on many of our local nonprofits and, in turn, see the great need to step up and help them just like they help others every day.

The needs of our local residents come first and foremost, and whether it’s 1920 or 2020, this is the vision and mission we have sought to carry out daily as Polk County’s community bank.

GL: We truly hope the 100 Days of Giving initiative will inspire others to take the time to volunteer, make a monetary donation, or even simply spread the word about organizations that are in need. I encourage everyone to take a moment and reflect upon your life. If your basic needs are met, it’s important to be thankful for all that you have and then work to try and help others. Once you, or a business, establishes this mindset, it’s much easier to give back to those who might not be as fortunate. All of us here at Citizens Bank & Trust urge our local businesses and community members to remember those in need even during the best of times. Every person in our community deserves a happy, healthy life. We’re grateful to be here 100 years later, and as always, we’re proud to be your bank.

Q: What are some of the stories or sentiments you’ve heard or seen from area nonprofits this year regarding their struggles and needs that sparked such a sizeable give-back initiative?

The Lost Words of a Trying Poet Here we go again Don’t hold your breath It’s coming A new year A new moment to change A new chance to make things right Opportunities will be endless Yet, still Time will be unforgivable Keep going Keep breathing Keep trying For this year will be different We’ve been through the worst But that doesn’t mean you’ve experienced the worst So don’t stop when it hits Take what you’ve learned What you’ve experienced Grow from it Accept it Love it Just remember A new year doesn’t wash away the sins It just marks the time to start some thing new
