November Commission Message
THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS COMMISSION
The year 2020 is almost over – and what a challenging year it has been! The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we live, work, and attend school. It caused many of us to restructure our traditional office work environments, created a greater dependency on digital platforms, and altered the way we do even the easiest of activities, like shop for groceries. Perhaps most importantly, it taught us to value, appreciate and be grateful for the simple things in life – our health and our family.

November is a month of gratitude and as your elected officials, we are tremendously thankful to serve the residents of the City of Coral Springs. Our residents have demonstrated that in difficult times, we are capable of uniting and raising each other up. Our residents have been resilient, understanding and supportive and this Thanksgiving, we are beyond grateful to serve you, each and every day. While this year has been challenging, let us be grateful. And as we approach the holiday season, be mindful of the importance of our health, safety and wellbeing.
Another change on the horizon will be a result of our upcoming elections. It will not only shape our nation, but also our City Commission. On November 3, 2020 citizens across the country will vote in the General Election and for Coral Springs Commission Seat 3 and Seat 5. We encourage all residents to exercise their right to vote and remind them to refer to their voting registration for polling locations, which can be found by visiting https://www.browardsoe.org.
In honor of our military heroes, their sacrifices and service, on November 11 we will host a virtual Veterans Days commemoration along with the launch of a new Veterans Recognition program. Each month, during a City Commission meeting, City Officials will recognize a resident who served in our nation’s armed forces. We encourage our residents and business leaders to submit a Coral Springs Veteran for recognition, by filling out the form located on our website. For more information on the program, please call 954-344-1004. For more information on our virtual Veterans Day commemoration, please visit our website www.coralsprings.org/events.
