Miss Burial passed on November twenty third, she's survived by her five children. Twelve grandchildren, four great grand, she was a light of the community. She will be miss, and I just want to acknowledge Aisha Gordon from the city of Oakland Park, who asked me to mention this person from Oakland Park. She lived in Weston. I attended a celebration of life for her last week. She's a beloved member of the community. Michelle Koenig's life was a testament to love, service, and unwavering commitment to enriching the lives of others. She shared nearly 70 remarkable years of marriage with her beloved husband Paul, and together they built a loving family and a legacy of contributions to the arts and beyond in the city she loved and all of South Florida. Her motto was helping others. And that's been a way of life for her, she said. It is important to get back to the community by developing programs, culture, activities, and needed services for many organizations which make a difference in the lives of our South Florida community. She was involved with many, many things. However, her passion was the arts and arts development shone the brightest. She was the organizer of the Western Philharmonic, now known as the Western Music Society. She brought world-class enrichment programs to Western schools. And in addition to that, as a founding member and president of the Arts Council of Greater Weston, she also created the Art Walk and the Foreign Film Series. Among her many honors, Rochelle was inducted into the Broward County Senior Hall of Fame, received the 25 Year Service Award from the Jewish Federation of Broward County, and named one of the 100 outstanding women of Broward County for her decades of volunteer work and was named Woman of Style and Substance by the Philharmonic Orchestra Society for her many contributions to the arts. Just would like us all to keep her and her legacy an important one in our memory. Thank you. Thank you. I just want to uh give my condolences to Paola Isaacs on the past of her husband. Thank you. Let us also honor all the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve in our armed forces, both here and abroad, and thank them for our service. Let's pause for a moment of silence. Please take your seats. Thank you. Yeah. So welcome everybody to the meeting today. We have our employee recognition, but before we do that, I believe we have one uh proclamation. Uh it's World's AIDS Day, and our Vice Mayor Robert McKenzie will be uh will be uh presenting that to Dr. Berkeley of the HIV Planning Council.
