sponsors: Doubletree Hotel at the Entrance to Universal Orlando; Towne
Park; Orlando Federal Credit Union; LaPrensa; Leland Management Group;

designed to inform, connect and provide resources necessary to build a
strong, vibrant community that is the best place to live, work, retire
and raise a family. Mayor Dyer conducted two Ask Your Mayor workshops
that were a big hit with the participants. “This gets better every year,
great job!” commented one participant. Another participant wrote “Great
event – very informational – thank you!”
During the luncheon Mayor Dyer presented his annual
