GAZETTE MAY 2018
Memorial Day Means Summer is Just Around the Corner One of the first signs summer is almost here is Memorial Day. The Town will kick off the season with its annual Memorial Day ceremony at 10 am on Monday, May 28 at Veterans Park. Please join us as we pay our respects to the men and women who sacrificed their lives while fighting for our country. We proudly salute our Surfsiders and all who have either served or are currently active in the military. Thank you for your service. The month of May also marks the official start of turtle nesting season in Surfside. To further protect endangered sea turtles, our Town Commission recently passed a plastic straw ban and is in the process of amending the Town Code to strengthen lighting regulations for marine turtle protections. The second ordinance reading is scheduled to take place at the next Town Commission meeting on Tuesday, May 8. All residents are welcome to attend. At last month’s Earth Day celebration (see page 7), Surfside residents had the opportunity to learn about turtle conservation, as well as participate in educational activities provided by local organizations. Thank you for being part of our third annual event and for playing a role in making Surfside a more environmentally-friendly community. - Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager
