Dear Readers,

WELCOME BACK to your Sports & Activities Directory! We’ve missed you and the community involvement during the pandemic. Now that sports, activities, events and schools are happening again...the Sports & Activities Directory team is off the bench and back in the game! I’m sure you are wondering what is open, what’s happening and what new and exciting things are being offered for your family. We’re on it! This issue focuses on Back to School and Fall/Winter programs and special events, as well as just about everything you need yo know to get out and about again. With all the changes that have happened throughout the world and right here in your town, many changes happened with our publication and team as well.

Unfortunately, many programs, businesses and activities are no longer around. It has been an arduous 18+ month journey for everyone! The Sports & Activities

Directory team has also made many adjustments to accommodate the needs of publishing and the Publishers of our five different area directories.

With that said, please welcome our newest Publisher/Licensor of the Weston Sports & Activities Directory, Isabel Magette. Isabel has been a stellar territory representative in Weston for several years and recently made a big leap to purchase the Weston area license during this pandemic. This is her first issue as Publisher and she has proven that this is her calling.

The Davie/Cooper City/SW Ranches Sports & Activities Directory Publisher, Nikki Reading, has stepped down to pursue a new career. She did an awesome job for so many years and will be missed greatly by all of those with whom she worked. I am very excited to resume the Publisher role for this area and have been busy meeting with Parks & Recreation staff, businesses and Mayors, as well as taking photos of all of you out at the parks and events.

Kim Kadel remains as Publisher/Licensor of the Coral Springs/Parkland Directory, as does Anina Venuti for Plantation. Linda Lombardi is the Managing Director for the Pembroke Pines Directory, handling all photos, sales and communication with businesses, schools and organizations. Carolyn Lass is our Territory Representative floating between our five areas. Last, but not least, Jennifer Gowen remains our unbelievably talented artistic director and graphic designer as she has for the past 18 years. We are a strong and devoted team and we are all in this together to bring you the most valued, fun and informative publications for your families. We thank you for waiting patiently for us to get this issue in your hands again. We thank and are so grateful to our cherished advertisers for their continued business and loyalty. We thank our cities and schools for their ongoing support. We can’t do what we do without all of you! Enjoy this issue in hard copy or online at www.sportsandactivities.com. All of our five area Directories are available on our website for viewing and/or downloading and have interactive links to visit our advertisers’ websites.

My best to you, Margot
