Before it became an official park in 1888, Lake Eola was known as “Sandy Beach!” (check out this @OrlandoFPR social post (https://www.instagram.com/orlandofpr/reel/C_0j3twxcDI/?utm_source=City+News&utm_campaign=504a8d689f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_01_07_03_07_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c482f52094-504a8d689f-80648119&mc_cid=504a8d689f&mc_eid=UNIQID) to see exactly where this photo was taken). It was the local watering hole for settlers to cool off and have some fun in the sun.

Now, Lake Eola Park is the most-known landmark in the city proper. It’s our signature park, home to Fireworks at the Fountain, Spring and Fall Fiesta, swan boat rides, holiday markets and events and so much more. It’s the place where we go to gather and be together as fellow Orlandoans.

The amount of change since 1888 is quite staggering and we’re not even done yet! With our upcoming Lake Eola Park Master Plan (https://www.orlando.gov/Parks-the-Environment/Directory/Lake-Eola-Park/Lake-Eola-Master-Plan?utm_source=City+News&utm_campaign=504a8d689f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_01_07_03_07_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c482f52094-504a8d689f-80648119&mc_cid=504a8d689f&mc_eid=UNIQID) , we’re looking to the future and how the park will continue to serve our community moving forward.


** The budget was approved
------------------------------------------------------------

Just like Lake Eola, our city is ever evolving. Last week, the Orlando City Council approved a budget to support our growing city, including:
* The addition of 26 new police officers and 29 firefighters

* Funding for sanitary sewer improvement projects, sidewalk repairs and the repaving of roads

* Funding for amenities like parks and recreation facilities

* Investment in multi-modal opportunities, such as SunRail, to allow residents and visitors to be less reliant on their car.

You can learn more about the budget and the investments being made throughout our community on orlando.gov.

** We’re helping ease challenges for our most vulnerable
------------------------------------------------------------

Our commitment to providing safe and affordable housing for all continues. Orlando City Council recently approved plans for the use of over half a million dollars in federal funding to support affordable housing and homelessness initiatives.

These funds will be used by more than a dozen local community partners for the following:
* Homebuyer education and counseling

* Services for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking

* Outreach services, temporary housing and permanent supportive housing

* Case management for individuals on the path to self-sufficiency

We are grateful to these partners for helping advance our shared priority that every resident has a safe place to sleep, and their basic needs are met.

** There’s still time to enjoy summer weather
------------------------------------------------------------

The calendar says it’s officially fall, but Florida says we’ve still got time to enjoy our favorite summer outdoor activities (with an iced pumpkin spice latte in hand, of course).

Vanessa Salazar and her mother, Madeleine Matheus, opened DePalma World in 2020, a sustainable swimwear boutique specializing in stylish resort quality, handmade pieces that celebrate their vibrant Venezuelan culture and community. While the boutique opened just four years ago, Vanessa and Madeleine’s love of designing bathing suits began almost 25 years ago, when Madeleine handmade suits for her children. Later, while Madeleine opened swimwear stores in Venezuela, Vanessa went to fashion school to better hone her craft and learn the ins and outs of running a fashion-related business.

Both Vanessa and Madeleine moved to the United States for a new start, and after a few years of selling their products at local markets, they made the move to open their brick-and-mortar storefront in Ivanhoe Village. Today, the two enjoy creating bright, Caribbean-inspired bathing suits that instill confidence in every customer who walks through their doors. To visit DePalma World, head to 619 Virginia Drive or check out their website at depalmaworld.com.
