President’s Message

Palm City Chamber of who participated or supported it would not have been so festive without you. This holiday

The holiday season is here, and Palm City is buzzing
with festive energy like never before! Our annual Veterans
Memorial Bridge 5K was a resounding success, and while
the true winners were the veterans we honor, a special shout-
out is due to the top runners of the day: Kay Trager and Uriel Monjaras! Kay sped her way
to victory like a reindeer on espresso, while Uriel set the pace with the grace of a seasoned
marathoner (or maybe just someone who’s been training with a secret stash of gingerbread
cookies). Congratulations to both!
But wait—hold the holly! Yours truly was also a little surprised by my own performance. Community Champion
I took home a gold in my age group! That’s right, folks, I’m officially a first-place finisher
... in the category of not-actually-being-that-young-anymore. But hey, let’s call it a win for
the “spirits” of the season!
Now, let’s talk about the Holiday Village! If you missed it, well, you certainly missed
out. The Patio at Palm City Place was a magical wonderland that practically bursting at the
seams with holiday cheer. Every year, this event just keeps getting better, and this season
was no exception. The Patio at Palm City Place was out shown by the student performers.
Well, let’s just say they’re all destined for Broadway (or maybe just the next school talent
show, but let’s dream big). Founded in 1984, Ashley Capital is one of the largest privately held industrial
real estate investment companies in the United States. With over 30 million square
feet of industrial space spanning six states, the company focuses on building quality
