Ehud Olmert in Naples, Florida

This is why I feel so fortunate to live in Naples....

Last night I had the extraordinary opportunity to hear Ehud Olmert speak on the topic, "Why Israel Matters."

The former prime minister's presentation was the most powerful message I have heard over the past seven years by any of the internationally renowned presenters at this forum.  It is a testament to the culture of Naples that dignitaries of this stature fly across the world to speak at the Naples Town Hall Distinguished Speakers Series

Among the most popular Naples holiday events is the Festival of Lights, held each year on 3rd Street the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Thousands of Neopolitans stroll the streets, enjoying the festivities. Many fine musical groups perform; Santa's elves fashion balloon hats for the children; "snow" bubbles spew from poinsettia-adorned street lights; and the spirit of Christmas is in the air.
