The family of local teen Naomi Pomerance, who died last year in a tragic accident, will recall her life on the first anniversary of her death next week.
The community is invited to an “Evening of Music & Laughter” in memory of Pomerance from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday, March 28 at Havana Hideout (509 Lake Ave., Lake Worth).
The event will be hosted by Louis Zwiebel, with special guests Ramon Garcia from America’s Got Talent and Dean Napolitano from Triple 9 and Army Wives, with a special musical performance by the Whitney & Antwan Brothers.
Pomerance died March 28, 2015 as the result of a traffic accident in suburban West Palm Beach. She was the passenger on a scooter and was thrown from the vehicle when it crashed. She was 16 at the time of her death.
The driver of the scooter was under the influence of marijuana and other drugs at the time of the crash. However, unlike alcohol, Florida law does not specify a specific intoxication limit for marijuana. Pomerance’s family has been working with State Rep. Dave Kerner (D-District 87) to fix that loophole through the Naomi Pomerance Victim Safety Act, which was introduced in Tallahassee this session.
