Jackson starting promptly at 5:30 PM. Guest speaker Marjorie Ferrer, executive director of the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DBDDA), will give a presentation, Positioning Downtown as a Destination for Visitors & Residents. This topic will provide valuable information to the community on how to take advantage of Sebring's charming and historic downtown for tourists, part-time and year-round residents.
