THEN--JUST FOR FUN!
COME VISIT WITH US ON A ZOOM FRIDAY AUGUST 28!
BRING YOUR FAVORITE BEVERAGE AND LET'S JUST
ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY.
HELLO Zoom friends. It's been quite some time since we've gotten together so it's about time we
TAKE the time to grab a cold beer, glass of wine, or for those who don't drink--water, coffee, tea. . .
whatever floats your boat. Let's kick off Friday, August 28th at 7:00 pm with good cheer and good
friends catching up on what we've all been doing this summer. Let's end the week on a good
note and begin the weekend on a high. There's one stipulation and I know we can all agree on this...
since we will have been watching two National Conventions back-to-back and the barrage of political
discourse, we are requesting we NOT discuss politics. Let's keep the conversation on family, friends,
and what we've been doing to keep busy, like what books you'd recommend to read, what's new on
TV that's not known to everyone, gardening tips, etc. . .Maybe we can share ideas with one another
who are feeling bored. Hope to see you on Friday, August 28th at 7 pm with drinks in hand and a smile on your face!
Sign up HERE and you will receive your Zoom link before the event.

Can you help us Keep
Our Children Safe?
Governor Ron DeSantis
is working overtime to pressure local counties into moving into Phase 2 of
reopening before they are ready. He is playing games with the data just to
support his agenda.
Once the Governor forces
South Florida counties (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade) into Phase 2 of
reopening, many South Florida public schools will also be forced to reopen one
week later for in-person brick-and-mortar schooling, a very dangerous
choice.
In the state of
Florida, there have been 47,762 cases of COVID-19 in children since March 2020,
with 596 that have been admitted to the hospital.
It is UNETHICAL and a
risk to PUBLIC SAFETY to gather for in-person classes in Florida when pediatric
cases are at their highest point EVER in the state and increasing at a alarming
rate. In August alone, over 550 COVID positive children have been
diagnosed EVERY DAY. Every single hour in Florida, 23 children are
diagnosed with COVID.
We cannot allow our
governor, who has repeatedly claimed that COVID does not impact children, to
force local officials into putting our children in danger.
We must send a CLEAR message
to our elected leaders that
we want them to listen to our scientists and doctors about when and how we
should reopen safely.
Governor DeSantis is
overstepping. Local leaders should make the choice of when our communities are
ready to enter the next phase of reopening. Local leaders have the power
of Home Rule and need to exercise it NOW to prevent DeSantis from further
harming our community and putting our teachers, children, and community at
risk.
Thanks in advance for
your support,
Laurie, Ana, and Jayme (Broward for Progress)_____________________________________________
