Nona Your Neighbor: Daniel Mancini

April 12, 2018 by Vanessa Poulson

This month’s Nona Your Neighbor subject is Mr. Daniel Mancini, more commonly known as Danny or Uncle Danny.

Danny was brought to our attention through an incredibly thoughtful Facebook post, detailing this compassionate Lake Nona resident’s dedication toward keeping Laureate Park clean. You’ll never see Danny without a trash bag in hand as he walks through Laureate Park, picking up trash and other debris. Danny was quintessential to Laureate Park’s effort in cleaning up after Hurricane Irma, and after hearing about all of Danny’s compassionate efforts, we knew he was the perfect subject for April’s edition of Nona Your Neighbor.
