MID AUGUST - OCTOBER EVENTS DIRECTORY

Hello Sunshine Ranches Residents,

As we approach the upcoming Fall season and are heading back to school, it is exciting to see all of the Southwest Ranches Town events starting up again and having in person events as well. We encourage you to check out the Town calendar on our website at www.southwestranches.org to see the activities and events that are now available. We have our normal Town and Volunteer Board meetings, but as we move into the Fall, we have a number of other fun events that will lead us all the way to the holiday events at the end of the year. This is exciting to see, and we encourage you to visit our website often for updates and details.

We are once again looking forward to our annual craft show where we invite all those with talent to come and share their wares with the community. I am always amazed at the creativity and new ideas that I see. We also have an annual car show where you can see some of the newest cars, as well as the classics. In addition, many of our HOAs and Civic Associations have events through the year where all are invited to attend.

Recently we had a great meeting in Town to celebrate the awarding of scholarships to a number of our students. They all work so very hard all year long, putting in service hours and raising funds on their own. And, especially in a year like 2020 when much of the fundraising went on, it was truly a challenge for them to raise the funds that they did. The amazing part is that they not only made the year a success, but they actually raised more money toward the scholarship fund than has ever been raised in the past! We are blessed to have such dedicated students, parents, Education

Advisory Board Members, and of course the community of residents that support these students. To see this come together in such a challenging year was an inspiration to us all. All of these events remind me of why my wife and I selected this area to call home over 26 years ago. Sunshine Ranches is unique and special with open spaces to run, play and enjoy the great outdoors, while also being a wonderful learning environment for our children as they interact with animals, nature and take on new responsibilities. Truly, the Ranches is an exceptional community and one that we are proud to call home. So, we invite you to join us for our events in the Ranches and get to know our community better. We love our rural roots, our open spaces, and all the animal sights and sounds. We trust that whether you live here in the Ranches or visit, that you also will enjoy the unique community of Southwest Ranches.

Sincerely,
