Dear Readers,

Welcome to the winter issue of Sports & Activities Directory! I am sending out my best wishes to all of you for a happy and healthy holiday season, and a very joyous and prosperous New Year! We are so happy to be back publishing and getting our directory into your hands again. Our advertisers, cities and schools have been incredible with their support as we successfully relaunched this fall with our back to school issue. I think you can all relate when I say how much I appreciate getting back to a version of normal life again. Having the past 18 months off, I found a renewed energy and appreciation for my career and the value we bring to our communities. Never before, in my 19 years of publishing the Sports & Activities

Directory, have I heard so much excitement about our publication and how much they missed having this resource in their homes. Thank you to each one of you who shared your excitement at seeing us in print again! We can’t do what we do without you!

In the pages ahead, you will find a multitude of events for you and your families to get out and celebrate the holidays, organizations that need your help with volunteer hours and donations, school success stories, sports features and more. As many sports wrap up their fall seasons, look through the sports directory (red tabbed) for winter and spring registrations taking place now for sports such as baseball, flag football, basketball, soccer, rugby and softball. Also find the ongoing afterschool programs and activities such as dance, gymnastics, martial arts, golf and tennis. Living in Florida with our beautiful weather offers a large variety of options for our children to enjoy while developing new friendships, physical and/or academic skills and overall enrichment as they challenge themselves with new activities.

If you are new to the area or have just found the Sports & Activities Directory for the first time, please read through and enjoy, like our Facebook page @ SportsAndActivitiesDirectory, and visit our website www.SportsAndActivities.com to view all five of our area publications in Broward County online. All advertisements have active links to visit any or all of our advertisers’ websites to learn more about the family-friendly businesses in your community. In times like these, we are so grateful to be working closely with the many

Health Care providers and facilities in and around your town. Whether you need hospitals or specialists, vaccines/boosters, urgent care, dentistry/orthodontics, vision correction, or therapy of any kind, we have a Health Directory (orange tabbed) that just keeps growing! Let us all be little more conscious of our health and more proactive in prevention of health issues. Please enjoy every moment with your family and loved ones during the holidays and every day, nothing is more important than that! My best to you, Margot

Our apologies to the Mayor of Southwest Ranches, Steve Breitkreuz and Southwest Ranches residents, we mistakenly printed Sunshine Ranches rather than Southwest Ranches in the Mayor’s letter and in our Table of Contents in the previous issue. Having been a resident of Sunshine Ranches before Southwest Ranches was incorporated, I apparently assimilated them as one in the same in my head, which I realize is incorrect. Thank you for your understanding, this had nothing to do with what the Mayor submitted.
