Happy September!

In September, we celebrate one of the most important annual holidays, Labor Day. Labor Day was first introduced to the American public as a federal holiday in 1894. This year, Labor Day falls on September 5th. We take this holiday off to recognize and honor the hard work of the American labor movement and the American worker. I hope everyone has a magnificent Labor Day weekend this year!

With the annual Hurricane Season continuing, we are seeing a large number of thunderstorms in Central Florida. Please stay safe and take all necessary safety precautions when any weather changes occur. I encourage anyone interested in obtaining a free emergency weather radio to contact Orange County’s Emergency Management Division or my office as they are giving away these radios free of charge to the public.

Also, since school is back in session, if you know of anyone who needs school supplies or back packs to contact my office. We want our kids to go through the school year with all of the necessary supplies for their education.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you can email me at district4@ocfl.net or call my office at 407-836- 5881.

Blessings, Commissioner Maribel Gomez Cordero
