Your Village @ Work- April 17, 2017

Your weekly publication about Village happenings and events.

Earth Day! We are days away from celebrating mother Earth and we are 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 Village of Parks wants to hear from you! Please join us for our three remaining Parks Master Plan Meetings scheduled in April and early May.  Each meeting has a specific purpose and location and everyone is welcome to participate in just one or all three!  Check out our comprehensive Spring-Summer Edition of our Play-by-Play Recreation Guide featuring the artwork of Fabien Lilavois (8th grade) from Southwood Middle School who won our Earth Day Art Contest! Please join FIU for an MPA (Master of Public Administration) information session on Tuesday, April 25 at the Village Hall starting at 6 pm.  For more information, please contact Ms. Jasmine Negron.
