From Broward County Commissioner Michael Udine
April is here and spring has sprung! From listening to music at the Tortuga Music Festival, gearing up for a Stanley Cup title defense with our Florida Panthers, or enjoying all that our county has to offer—you can do it this April and throughout the spring and summer. Check out all the events at visitlauderdale.com for more information.
Ready to learn how government works? The annual Coral Springs Teen Political Forum will take place at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts on April 3 at 6:30 pm. This event provides youth throughout District 3 and Broward County the opportunity to ask tough questions and gain insight into the challenges policymakers face daily. Elected leaders from state, county and cities will all participate. I look forward to seeing these young leaders run for office in the future and appreciate them attending to make their voices heard.
Tax season is here, and the deadline is fast approaching. Your taxes or extension request must be filed by April 15th. Need help? Taxes can be confusing, and Broward libraries offer many resources and free tax preparation for qualifying individuals. All events are first-come, first-served and provide tax professionals to assist you. Visit Broward.org/library for more information about programs and to find out when one will be held at your local library.
This spring, it has been my honor to recognize various organizations throughout our community with proclamations from Broward County. In March, I recognized American Red Cross Month and the volunteer group Hatzalah Emergency Services for the contributions they make daily to our community during crises. In April, I will be presenting a proclamation to our first responders who are being honored with the “Tom Gallagher Awards” during “National 911 Education Month.” I will also present a proclamation in support of the “Walk Like MADD” event held by the group Mothers Against Drunk Driving. These amazing organizations do vital work, along with many others, in our community every day.
April is Earth Month, and there will be many events hosted throughout the county at parks and different locations. In District 3, Coral Springs will host Earth Fest at the Sawgrass Nature Center in the Coral Springs Sports Complex on April 26th from 9 AM to 12 PM. It will feature nature exhibits, community garden displays, raffles, and a plant giveaway. Best of all, the event is free! Enjoy this great educational and fun opportunity for the whole family.
Finally, I would like to wish a very Happy Easter and Passover to all who celebrate. Whether participating in a community egg hunt or enjoying family around the seder table, let’s all enjoy time with our loved ones and the blessings that we have received.
