July ​2024​

Summer is in full swing! Whether the kids are in camp, you’re enjoying a staycation, or traveling on a summer adventure, Broward County has you covered. The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades have many last-minute flights and cruises still available. Or you can check out some of Broward County’s history at the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens or the Stranahan House. We’re also facing record breaking temperatures so please follow local news and weather outlets for heat advisories. Visit one of the many Broward water parks throughout the County to cool off. There is something for everyone this summer in Broward County!

Speaking of water parks or a day by the pool, did you know that Broward County offers programs to teach kids to swim? Drowning is a leading cause of death for children and is preventable with education. Swim Central runs programs throughout the year to teach young kids water safety and basic swim skills. Since 1999, Swim Central has enrolled 600,000 children and provided 3.5 million lessons. For more information on signing up call 954-357-7946 or email swimcentral@broward.org​.

Is your community feeling the bite from mosquitoes? Summer months are known for mosquito season throughout Broward County. Remember to avoid being out at dawn and dusk to prevent bites and empty any standing water that you find. Broward County is also here to help. Request mosquito control to evaluate your community for potential remedies. Please call 954-765-4062 to receive a mosquito service form and let’s take the bite out of mosquitoes.

Election season is upon us! Is your voter registration and information up to date? Have you made a move, or never registered to vote before? The deadline to register to vote or change your party affiliation for the August primary election is July 22nd, 2024. Democracy counts on your vote and your voice. Check out Browardvotes.gov for more information.

Starting in July and running through August, the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program will host sea turtle hatchling releases that are open to the public. These beautiful creatures are released in the evenings throughout the two months. These educational events raise awareness and help conservation efforts of sea turtles which are endangered. For dates, times, and tickets visit hcas.nova.edu/seaturtles​ and Broward.org/naturalresources/beachandmarine/seaturtles​ for more information.

Finally, July means Happy Birthday America! Celebrating our nation’s independence on July 4th is a big day in the cities of District 3.
