Hey there Palmetto Bay! Spring has sprung in our Village and that means lots of fun and good times coming to our parks as we kick off Earth Month with our annual tree giveaway, Earth Day activities, Environmentalist of the Year, and this year, an inaugural walk on the new 136th street multi-use path. Click below for my video update.

This month we have been recognizing some amazing Palmetto Bay women. At our last meeting we recognized Myra Solomon. Myra accepted a proclamation on behalf of all women in the Village. Check out the latest Village Vibes to learn more. You can also check out all the amazing women we have recognized throughout the month by clicking here. #PalmettoBaysGotTalent #thatscommunity

The Village Police Department is also working to collect items to assist the people of the Ukraine. This past week some very special students from our very own Youth Community Involvement Task Force, Valentina and Connor Nicolini came to Village Hall to help sort and package all of the goods that have been dropped off. Click here for more information. We will continue accepting donations. Please drop off your donations at Village Hall, 9705 East Hibiscus Street, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157.

Tonight, we have our monthly monthly Zoning Hearing. The meeting should be a quick one as we only have one item on the agenda. Click here for agenda.

Most of the local schools are out this week on Spring Break. I am enjoying seeing everyone's vacation posts. Whether you are traveling near or far or just staying around for a staycation as I am, please enjoy your time and stay safe.

As always, I encourage you to stay tuned into reliable information sources. You can subscribe to the Village Newsletter by clicking here and of course, I am here to answer questions or lend a helping hand. I have enjoyed joining small groups for After Hours with Karyn in your driveway or homes. If you are interested in scheduling a time for me to meet with you and your neighbors, I can also be reached at kcunningham@palmettobay-fl.gov or at 305-799-0695.  I look forward to seeing you in and around the Village. Together we are making Palmetto Bay a better place to live, work, learn, and play.
