President's Message

Dear Friends and Nieghbors,

President I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend and had a chance to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the film that put Fort Lauderdale on the map...‘Where the Boys Are!’ The City put on quite a beach party with Connie Francis reprising her starring role and celebrating with locals who were there 50 years ago!

Summer is upon us again (already!) and that means hurricane season is also here again. We’ve been fortunate for the past few years, but NOAA is predicting a busier storm season this year, so be prepared...and the time to start preparing is right now!

Everyone should at least have a one week supply of essential items including water (one gallon per person per day), non-perishable food, medicines, pet food, flashlight, radio and batteries. You’ll find complete hurricane preparation information and checklists on our City of Fort Lauderdale website at www.fortlauderdale.gov/hurricane and on the Broward County website at www. broward.org/hurricane.

Summer also brings a number of popular events, including the 32nd Annual Bank of America Starlight Musicals Concert Series at Holiday Park, which will begin Friday, June 18 and runs every Friday through August 6 from 7pm to 10pm. And if you haven’t tried it yet, Riverwalk Trust’s new Urban Market, on the water along the Riverwalk from 8am-1pm every Saturday, is a great place to take a leisurely Saturday morning stroll along the river and do a little ‘fresh’ shopping.



Mark Snead with grandson, Connor William Richey, receiving Rio Vista Citizen of the Year Award.

Congratulations to Mark Snead, our RVCA Treasurer, for being awarded our Rio Vista Citizen of the Year award at our annual meeting in April. Mark has given countless hours of service to our neighborhood, including his work with our Protect Rio Vista patrol, and we most sincerely appreciate all you’ve done, Mark!

See you in the neighborhood.

        Sincerely,
        Warren Sturman, MD
