Some Stuff I Wrote and Some Stuff I Didn't (2011) H. Morris Williams







                                             City Proclamation


                                           *Betty Tannenbaum Day*

                                                February 4,2002


                                                         Whereas,

               Betty Tannenbaum, along with her late husband Mel Tannenbaum obtained
                ownership of The Lovely Shop in downtown Lake City fifty years ago, and;

              Betty Tannenbaum owned and operated The Lovely Shop with her son, Doug,

               and her two daughters, Susan and Barbara, for thirty-six years following the
                                   death of her beloved husband in 1966, and;

                Betty Tannenbaum reared her family in Lake City, Florida, where she has
                         been and continues to be a vital part of the community and;

               The Lovely Shop and Betty Tannenbaum are synonymous when one thinks of
                                             downtown Lake City, and;


                Betty Tannenbaum has dressed four generations of North Floridian women
                for great events in their lives: proms, weddings, wedding anniversaries, and
                                            other special occasions, and;

                The closing of The Lovely Shop marks the “end of an era” in Lake City and
                                              Columbia County history.

               Now, therefore, I, W. Ray Kirkland, Mayor of the City of Lake City, Florida,

                                     do hereby proclaim February 4,2002 as

                                      “BETTY TANNENBAUM DAY”

                And encourage all citizens of Lake City to show proper respect and honor to
                   this great citizen of Lake City who has given so much of her life for the

                betterment of Lake City and North Florida and furthermore that the Mayor
                and City Council present to Betty Tannenbaum the Key to the City of Lake
