FROM THE EDITOR
times calls for extraordinary
measures. We saw a need that needed to be
“Extraordinary
filled, and we stepped in to help.” — Benet´ Wilson
These words rang so true to me as Parkland, Coral
Springs, and neighboring communities stepped in to
help after the MSD shooting. Organizations, individuals,
businesses, and even animals stepped up to do what was
necessary to bring support and comfort to the victims, their
families, and to the community.
Our May issue continues where we left off in April, with
a special section on helping, healing, and strengthening
our community. There are many ways in which we all can
still show our support. We start with an open letter from
the Parkland Chamber of Commerce, page 16. The letter
is heartfelt expression of sympathy and thanks to all who
were able to lend a hand, not just on that day but on the
days and months to come. The future will bring many
more discussions on how to prevent such a tragedy from
ever happening again. A special thanks goes to the first
responders and their part in helping when Stoneman was
under siege, page 18. Without these trained professionals,
who knows what would have happened.
Students have found a voice and are not shy to tell their
stories or stand up for what they believe in. One young
woman tells us what it was like to be on the outside waiting
for news of a childhood friend, page 21. We have a piece
from a young man in New York who was inspired to speak
out and start a movement in his high school to support
Parkland, page 22.
The March for Our Lives event was a huge success not
just here, but across the country. Check out the two-page
photo spread from the Parkland march, pages 24, 25.
As we move on, don’t forget that Mother’s Day is coming
up. If you are at a loss as to what to do for Mom, we have a
story that will give you a few ideas, page 32. Perhaps Mom
likes museums; if that’s the case then you may want to
check out local museums. Some of the local places are not
charging entrance fees in honor of International Museum
Month, page 84.
The month of May is also an Engaged Couples issue,
and we highlight four couples that are getting ready to
exchange vows, pages 28, 30. If you know anyone who is
engaged and would like an announcement in our magazine,
please let me know. It’s a beautiful keepsake and at no
cost. The next Engaged Couples issue is August.
Correction: In the March issue of the Parklander, on page
79, the photo caption should have read “Downtown
Provincetown, Massachusetts.”
In the April issue of the Parklander, on page 25, the
headline should have read “TSM Meditation,” which is not
connected with Transcendental Meditation ® . We apologize
for any confusion. P
