Dear Readers,

I am hoping that all of you had a great first quarter of school and are getting into a comfortable routine as the holiday season approaches. As the most wonderful time of the year approaches, we have a great variety of community events happening in and around our city. Be sure to check out our calendar in the Event Directory for you and your family to enjoy as our weather cools down a bit. During the season of giving, we featured Harvest Drive in this issue, a wonderful way to teach our youth the significance and importance of giving to others in need including those who have fallen on less fortunate times. Harvest

Drive is an amazing organization where 100% of the donations received goes towards feeding and clothing those in need in our neighboring communities within Broward County. Find distribution centers and items needed to continue the mission of the philanthropic Renee Herman to help the community. There are opportunities to donate, volunteer and get involved. This is a perfect way to give back and help others during the season of Thanksgiving.

We are all happy to see and read about the great things that our students and teachers are accomplishing, from sports awards and academic accolades to community service. We are so proud of our Weston schools; they are simply the best.

Don’t miss spending some quality time with your family at Movies in the Park and Weston Nights concerts. For fitness fanatics, be sure to read about and participate in the 25th Annual Rotary Run for Tomorrow, Get Fit Challenge and Safety Expo by our BSO starting in November. For those looking for some culture and entertainment, check out a few Weston Foreign Films, Arts Day, or enjoy some holiday performances and celebrations like Noche de Velitas and Gaitas y Vervenas. Registration is open now for Day off, Thanksgiving Break & Winter Break camps, and don’t forget to sign up for spring sports and activities. Also find our growing Hometown Professional Services and Family Health Directories, we have it all here! However you and your family celebrate the holidays, I wish you all the very best. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year ahead!

My best to you,

Isabel
