<\/a>Lehigh Acres newest Honorary Mayor Ahmed El-Gendy wasted no time in taking on his duties when he presented several large-sized pizzas to several Lehigh Acres doctors in honor of Doctors Appreciation Day.<\/p>\n
“Coming from the medical field, I thought it would be a nice gesture to show my and the community’s appreciation for all the great doctors we have here in Lehigh Acres,” El-Gendy said.<\/p>\n
So with his white sash on, identifying him as Lehigh Acres\u2019 newest Honorary Mayor he and his brother-in-law, Ahmed Fahmy, delivered Papa John pizzas to several doctors throughout the community.<\/p>\n
One of the first stops was to Dr. Michael Tucker’s office off of Homestead Rd.<\/p>\n
“Hey, thank you,” Tucker told El-Gendy.<\/p>\n
“This is a way for us to say thank you to you and all the other doctors in Lehigh,” El-Gendy said.<\/p>\n
“We took them large pizzas and told them it was for them, but there was enough for many of their staffs, too,” El-Gendy laughed.<\/p>\n
All the pizzas came from Papa John’s, one of the largest orders for the pizza shop, in a while.<\/p>\n
Papa John’s pizza makers used olives in most cases and formed them on top of the pizzas with the message: “Happy Doctors Day.”<\/p>\n
