When we created the Lake Park Butterfly Award, we planned to recognize one special neighbor. But after reading the nominations and the wonderful stories you shared, we simply couldn't choose just one. ๐
So today, we're proud to recognize THREE incredible Lake Park neighbors who show us what kindness, generosity, and community are all about.

Kayla was nominated for being the kind of neighbor who makes kindness part of everyday life. She's always welcoming and willing to help, whether she's sharing vegetables, flowers, and homemade bread or simply being there when someone needs a helping hand or a listening ear.

Rita's nomination showed us what it means to truly look out for your neighbors. When a neighbor was battling cancer and recovering from surgery, Rita walked their dog every day. She's helped search for lost pets, checks with neighbors before heading to the store to see if they need anything, and consistently goes above and beyond for those around her.

Stacey was nominated for quietly and consistently caring for others. She helps neighborhood moms and children, checks on families when they're sick, babysits, and makes her home a welcoming place for neighborhood kids. When one neighbor was sick and home alone with young children, Stacey immediately went to the pharmacy to get the medicine she needed.
These are the acts of kindness that often happen quietly, without recognition or expectation of anything in return. And that's exactly why we wanted to recognize them. ๐ฆ
