From State Rep Christine Hunschofsky:
The month of November and the anticipation of the holiday season can be exciting for many of us as we look forward to celebrating and spending time with loved ones. It’s a time of gratitude and hopefully some cooler weather. However, it is also a time when many of us reflect on our own personal challenges or deal with the loss of loved ones no longer with us.
This holiday season, I wish all of you much love, gratitude, and happiness. If you can, please reach out to those you know who may be struggling; sometimes just checking in with others can be enough to make a difference.
As a reminder, we also have 211-Broward.org and EaglesHaven.org that can help connect you with resources available in the community.
The Parkland Farmers Market and the Coconut Creek Hometown Markets are back for the season. The Parkland Farmer’s Market takes place the first and third Sunday of the month from November through April, from 9 am to 1 pm, at the Parkland Equestrian Center, 8530 Ranch Road.
The Coconut Creek Hometown Market happens on the first and third Saturday of the month from October through March, from 9 am to 2 pm, at the Township Plaza on the Southeast corner of Sample and Lyons Roads, by Veterans Park. Both markets feature local vendors and provide a wonderful opportunity to see our friends, neighbors, community organizations, and local elected officials.
This Veterans Day, we come together to honor our veterans for their service to our great nation. While these brave men and women come from different backgrounds and life experiences, they are united by their devotion to our country and their willingness to serve and put themselves in harm’s way to defend our freedoms. To all who served in our Armed Forces, we thank you, not just today but every day, for your service, patriotism, and sacrifice to protect our way of life here at home.
The cities of Coconut Creek (coconutcreek.net), Margate (margatefl.com), Parkland (cityofparkland.org), and Coral Springs (coral springs.gov) are hosting Veteran’s Day events the morning of Monday, November 11, at their respective Veterans Parks.
One of my favorite events to kick off Thanksgiving is the Pre-Thanksgiving Interfaith Unity Service held this year on Tuesday, November 26, at 7:00 pm at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 9950 NW 29 Street, Coral Springs.
Hosted by the Clergy Coalition of Coral Springs & Parkland, this beautiful interfaith service brings together houses of worship from across northwest Broward as we come together and give thanks for our blessings. I highly recommend attending if you haven’t before, and for those who do, there will be a canned food collection for those in need.
My office team, my family, and I wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving and hope you are surrounded by loved ones. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your state representative in Tallahassee. If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to call us at 954-956-5600.
