//We Need Toys !
//The Central City Alliance is once again giving toys to some of our disadvantaged elementary school kids that have been chosen because they are excelling in school, despite their challenged conditions …
We have notified their parents, and are holding a Christmas party for them at the Middle River Terrace Park (1329 N. Dixie Hwy), this Sunday, Dec. 17, from 2 pm to 4 pm …..
Here’s where you come in :
take an unwrapped, new toy for a boy or girl, ages 5 to 12, to the Christmas Palace on NE 13th Street by Friday …… We are very light on toys this year and really need your help ….
…. then, we are giving the toys out at the Middle River Terrace Park this Sunday (Dec. 17), between 2 and 4 … We are providing hamburgs, hot dogs etc., and giving the kids a very nice party …. Santa will be there …
…..
thanks for your help ….. Tim Smith … 954-822-4727
Winterfest Boat Parade Tonight !
//It was a fine night! The annual Winterfest Boat Parade couldn’t have been any nicer, and luckier…. Earlier in the day, it was raining, misty, cold…. but the rain stopped, a nice chill descended upon us, and the rain stopped! … the boats were fantastic…
But being Fort Lauderdale, we had to have more…. And we did! … As usual, democracy was in action in Fort Lauderdale, and a protest ensued!
A Vegan/Peta demonstration moved through the streets around the Boat Parade, but was very peaceful …
I hung out with my friends George and Ann Mihaiu for awhile, watched the parade, enjoyed the cool weather ……
I love Fort Lauderdale ! ………………….. Tim
Now the Water Plant Tour for Candidates
//As promised, I have now planned a trip to one of our two Water Plants in the City, and have invited all the fine candidates for public office to attend ……
We are going on Thursday, December 14th, from 11:30 – 12:30 pm …
At least some of them ( the candidates) are going to be responsible for spending up to a billion dollars to fix the aging infrastructure in the City, and we should all want the latest information!
We are going to the Peele Dixie Water plant, (it is actually our “historic water plant”) , and is the smallest and very much oldest of our two plants ..
If any of you would like to join the tour, let me know at tim@timsmith.com ….. We have room, and you will find it very interesting …… Tim

I Had A Dream !
//I had a dream …..
Oh Lordy …. a sweet dream it was !
But as reality set in, I realized I would have to work like a dog to make it really happen …. and so I have been ….
…..I’ve been to many debates, walked in the neighborhoods, put up signs, …. but most importantly, I have been going throughout the community to listen ….
I’ve learned quite a bit from the 100 or so citizens that have attended to give me their opinion so far, (at the listening sessions), and we have another 3 “listening tours” planned … ( more about those later)…
but let me crow a bit about the support that seems to be coming my way, I am humbled, ….. after getting back out into our community, and connecting with the voters, it turns out, I did leave a good solid reputation when I left the Commission in 2003… and because I never quit working since then for the betterment of the City, I have kept a lot of important citizens on my side …. here is just a part of the list of those on the Tim team !
