May Message

CORAL SPRINGS COMMISSION MAY MESSAGE

Just like the South Florida Sun, May is already heating up with special events and community happenings as we gear up for summer. We have truly enjoyed coming together once again for in-person events and community gatherings this spring. Interacting with residents is not something that we take for granted, especially after the challenges of the past two years. We look forward to welcoming our community for more in-person events in the months to come.

This month, the Coral Springs Multi-Cultural Committee will host a National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 5th. Participants of all faiths are invited to join this candlelight ceremony.

Many of our young residents have been sharpening their chess skills to take part in the Mayor’s Chess Challenge on Saturday, May 7th. This free event is open to all ages and skill levels. Additionally, the King of Chess Tournament will take place on Saturday, May 21st. Participants must register in advance. Visit CoralSprings.org/ events for more details.

In partnership with the Veterans Coalition of Coral Springs, the city will host a Memorial Day Ceremony on May 30th to honor the brave men and women of our military who have given their lives in service to our nation. The event will take place at Veterans Park (8601 Royal Palm Boulevard) at 9 a.m.

Kamp Kool kicks off on Monday, June 13th for kids entering grades 1st through 8th. The camp includes fun and engaging activities such as science experiments, arts and crafts, swimming, field trips, and a popular team competition known as “Color Wars.” Visit coralsprings.org/camps for more information.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. As we enter the spring and summer months, we remind our community that mental health resources exist to help tackle whatever challenges life may bring. Dial 2-1-1 Broward or text 898211 to be connected with help. We will be sharing how we prioritize our mental health throughout the month of May through social media.

Stay tuned; we will announce the winners of our Business Excellence Awards just ahead of Economic Development Week, which takes place from May 9th-13th. Visit CoralSprings.org/bea to view the full list of winners.

The next Commission meetings will take place on Wednesday, May 4th and Wednesday, May 18th at 6:30 p.m. Meetings are aired on CityTV, Blue Stream Channels 25, 25.7, 725 and on AT&T U-Verse channel 99. Meetings are also live-streamed at CoralSprings.org/ CityTV.
