An article from The News Leader highlighted the Members of the Caribbean American Association of Lake County (CAALC) who came together in a spirited celebration at the Clermont Performing Arts Center in Florida on November 4 for their 19th annual gala banquet and awards dinner.
The article noted that back in April 2004, a group of 10 Clermont residents recognized a need for unity and celebration within their community.
Today, CAALC boasts a membership of over 100 individuals, all committed to preserving and promoting Caribbean heritage in Lake County.

Investing in future generations
One of CAALC’s standout achievements over the years has been the successful awarding of over 50 student scholarships to graduating seniors from local high schools.
These scholarships have been instrumental in helping young talents pursue their dreams in college or vocational schools.
Exciting upcoming events
Moreover, CAALC announced its upcoming events, including the annual Christmas Party scheduled for Saturday, December 16, 2023, the new Annual Cultural Extravaganza on Saturday, March 9, 2024, and the eagerly awaited Caribbean Jerk Festival on June 1, 2024.
