As President Lincoln said, "A house divided cannot stand", so let us all work together as the most cohesive neighborhood in the City of Fort Lauderdale this year! 2010 will bring major improvements to our park with playground equipment being installed, as well as a gazebo which is currently in the design phase. New lighting and sidewalks are on the way for NW 8th , sidewalks are coming, new many new trees and street signs.  We will continue to work tirelessly with the City of Fort Lauderdale Code and Police Departments to eliminate crime and blight. We have a lot on our plate for this year but if you have a special project or concern in the neighborhood please come forward at a meeting or give me a call personally.

 

Our general meeting will  continue to be held the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:45PM.  Our neighborly meeting location will now be the Community Garden Recreation Room located at 501 NW 17 Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311.   We will continue to hold Police/Crime meetings with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department the 3rd Thursday of every month at the Police substation located at 533 NE 13th Street. Please take the time to attend these important meetings, get to know your neighbors, renew your memberships, join a committee.................together we can continue to move South Middle River forward.  

 

Yours,
Jo Ann

Ou vle fè tande pale de ou! Pran chans ou, sitou si ou fè
pati yon gwoup vwazen ki pataje menm kilti ak menm
enterè. Nan South Middle River tout moun dakò ke katye a
reprezante tout moun ladan. Se sak fè anpil moun lwe ou
achte kay bò la. Anpil nan nou renmen fè piknik lakay nou
epi tou envite zanmi lakay nou . Gen nan nou ki
pentire kay nou bèl, plante pye bwa ak flè. Tout sa se bèl
bagay! Nou dwe fyè de sa. Men tout bèl travay sa, se lave
men siye atè si nou pa kanpe moun kap jete fatra nan lari a.
Ki jan ou santi ou lè yon moun jete fatra devan pòt ou. Si
yon moun vinn jete fatra devan pòt ou, ou pap kontan, pa
vre? Ki sa ki merite pou fèt? An nou kòmanse yon
vigilans katye pou mete fen nan problem sa. Chak fwa nou
rapòte yon vyolasyon, lari a ap rete tou pwòp. Pa blye lari-a
se salon pèp la. Tout moun renmen salon yo pwòp.

Care about making an impressionable statement about yourself? Yes, you can! You should if you share common values with a community of neighbors who pursue similar interests. Here at South Middle River we all agree that we want to live in a beautiful surrounding which showcases the best of us. That is probably why we buy or rent property in this neighborhood and more so that is one reason we plant trees, mow our lawns, paint our houses or apartments. We all relish the privilege of having a picnic in our backyard or front yard and we all feel proud to give our guests a tour of our homestead. What about treating our guests to dinner or brunch at home? Most probably, all of us have been there a thousand times. While you relive these emotional highs, you should pad yourself in the back for fulfilling your fondest dreams. Yet, these good times cannot last if the recent trends of dumping are not reversed. This is where we can all stand TALL and save our neighborhood from illegal dumping. Have you noticed someone dropping disposable trash in your front lawn? Did you wake up to discover your street or front yard littered with all sorts of debris? How did you feel? Not good! What can you do to prevent this? What about starting a "Neighborhood Watch" to protect our neighborhood from violators? Doing this will allow us to stay alert and spot a violation which, if it gets reported, would be corrected and as a result, our streets will look spot on.
