Your Village @ Work- April 3, 2017

Your weekly publication about Village happenings and events.

Earth Day! The Village of Palmetto Bay is committed to Earth Day in a big way! This year, Villagers of all ages are invited to take part in a wide range of green activities -- all free to the public – to celebrate Earth Day. Earth Day activities have been organized into one very eventful day full of family-fun activities on Saturday, April 22. Enjoy a free tree giveaway, escorted bike ride, a discovery/nature walk, animal encounter, family yoga demo, live band by Miami Palmetto Senior High School Jazz Band students, animal adoptions by Miami-Dade County HOPE Express, an eco-movie (Ice Age: Collision Course). On Sunday, April 23 we are closing the celebration with a coastal clean-up aboard kayaks.  To register for these events or for more information, please click here.

Highlights:

The Spring-Summer Edition of our Play-by-Play Recreation Guide is now available featuring the artwork of Fabien Lilavois (8th grade) from Southwood Middle School who won our Earth Day Art Contest! Summer will be here before you know it! If you're interested in volunteering as a counselor-in-training for our summer camp or tennis camp, please fill out the applications and submit a hard copy addressed to Parks & Recreation Director Fanny Carmona before April 17. Registration for summer camp and tennis camp begins May 1. We would love to heard your feedback at our upcoming Parks Master Plan Meetings! Please join us at one or more of 4 meetings scheduled in April and early May and let us know what is important to you as related to our park facilities.  Each meeting has a specific purpose and location and everyone is welcome to participate in just one or all four!
