CORAL SPRINGS MAYOR<br />
SKIP CAMPBELL<br />
I’m proud to say that last<br />
month, we were the National<br />
Finalist for the 2016 MetLife<br />
Foundation/Generations United<br />
America’s Best Intergenerational<br />
Communities Awards. This<br />
means that our community<br />
shows promising potential<br />
for becoming a place where<br />
members of every generation<br />
thrive and want to live.<br />
In Coral Springs, we are all about protecting our<br />
environment, and Broward County has recognized several<br />
recent projects. The City was awarded the NatureScape<br />
Broward Emerald Award, recognizing the City’s native plant<br />
species, beautification, and environment-friendly irrigation<br />
systems at the ArtWalk and Fire Station 71.<br />

Coral Springs also embraces different faiths, and our<br />
National Day of Prayer celebration highlights the strength in<br />
diversity found in our community. Every house of worship in<br />
Coral Springs and adjoining cities are invited to participate<br />
as we come together to pray. The event is scheduled for<br />
Thursday, May 5th, at 7pm at the Coral Springs Charter<br />
School. There is no cost to attend. The Charter School is<br />
located at 3205 N. University Drive. For more information,<br />
