MESSAGE FROM THE VICE MAYOR
Time to “Spring Forward” to Better Days
T
he month of March is usually the time when we think about springing forward as daylight savings time commences giving us an extra hour of sunshine. Spring centers around “Spring Cleaning,” “Spring Break,” and the religious holidays of Passover and Easter which symbolize hope and renewal. This year, however, March will be different for all of us as it is marked by the anniversary of the first reported COVID-19 case in Florida. Some have called it the “COVID Crisis” while others call it the “COVID Catalyst.” Whatever lens you look through, the impacts of the virus have been devastating on the health and well-being of our families, our educational system, and our local economy. Yet, we need to be thankful and applaud the painstaking efforts of our frontline health care workers, first responders, educational professionals, and all those essential workers who were and still are critical to help us adapt to mitigate the crisis

and create innovated opportunities. As we strive for “herd immunity” the work to distribute and administer the vaccines is an indication of hope, yet we still must be vigilant in preventing the spread by wearing our mask, social distancing, and washing our hands. For COVID-19 updates and resources please visit our website at https://www. cityofparkland.org/coronavirus. Not to go unnoticed, March is also Women’s History Month. This is a time we reflect on the often-overlooked contribution of women to United States History as well to the City of Parkland. On a positive note, this month we are bringing back some of our extremely popular events such as Eats n’ Beats on March 13th and Movies in the Park on March 26th. We still have our incredible Farmers’ Market on March 7th which will showcase our Community awareness and business expo and March 21st we include our Health and Wellness vendors.
Our City Commission meetings this month will be on Wednesday, March 3rd and March 17th starting at 7pm. You can see our agendas at www.cityofparkland.org/cc. and watch our meetings livestream at www.cityofparkland. org/1304/Live-City-Commission-Meetings. Finally, I want to thank Mayor Walker for passing the pen to provide me the opportunity to be a guest contributor this month. Thank you, Mayor..
