A West Lake resident was honored at the Tamarac City Commission meeting on November 10 for regularly cleaning up trash in the city’s public spaces.
Commissioner Krystal Patterson presented Mary Ford with the Medal of Kindness, also called the Krystal Inspires Neighborly Deeds, or K.I.N.D., award. Ford’s neighbor, Amy McCuun, nominated her after seeing Ford pick up trash and debris from public areas in the West Lake neighborhood.
Ford said she spends time collecting litter from medians and open areas because she wants to keep the neighborhood a good place to live.
The award recognizes residents who go out of their way to help their community, and Ford’s work shows how small, steady efforts can make a visible difference on busy roadway medians and green spaces.
