On to present to proclamations and presentations, our first presentation is in recognition of NAREB Realtess Week, and I invite to the dais, Miss Tamika Moses, president of the local South Florida chapter. Let's give her a round of applause. Oh, and team and other fellow Realtists. All right. Good evening. Welcome. Yes. Oh, we didn't give a lot of the questions. NAREB, Realtist Week, April 5th through April 12th, 2025. Whereas the National Association of Real Estate Brokers Incorporated, also known as NAREB, was founded in Tampa, Florida in 1947 as an equal opportunity and civil rights advocacy organization for African American real estate professionals, consumers, and communities in America. And whereas NAREB, the oldest minority real estate trade association in America, was the key advocate in the passage of the U.S. Fair Housing Law and the creation of the U.S. Department and Housing and Urban Development. And whereas the five strategic pillars of the NAREB and I mean are women investing in real estate, known as WIRE, generational wealth building, faith-based and community engagement, diversity and inclusion, small business, and government relations advocacy. And whereas the week of April 5th through April 12th is recognized as NAREB Realtist Week, where over 100 chapters across the country will celebrate a week of activities centered around fair housing, advocacy, health, and well-being, faith and worship, and community services. And whereas from the past to the present, NAREB remains an association proud of its past, dedicated to its chosen struggle, and unrelenting in its pursuit to the of the realtors, mission vision, embodied gold, democracy, and housing. And we'll like to thank our local realists who have been a great partner with the city of Miramar and reaching out to our community to provide pathways to home and property ownership as well as recognizing the legacy that NAREB has left behind when real estate associations would not allow black real estate professionals to be a member and started their own and to really work on advocacy for housing justice across this country. So thank you all for carrying on the torch and being able to provide pathways to home ownership and property ownership in South Florida and specifically here in Miramor. I'd like to provide an opportunity for our Madam President to share some brief greetings. Thank you all so much for having us. I mean, you gave a whole entire speech about us. But no, we really do want to close the um the wealth gap. Our would you what he um what do you did? Mayor Wayne Massum did say yes, we are the oldest minority real estate trade organization in the country. So blacks were not able to become real estate professionals, isn't that something back in 1947? So we've overcome so many other um hurdles for us advocating for fair housing. So we want to continue to close um the wealth gap, be able to increase black homeownership, especially here in the city of Myanmar. So thank you so much for honoring us, and we look forward to our continuing partnership with the city. Thank you so much. Our next proclamation is an observance of National Arbor Day, and I invite Senior Landscape Planner Sue Ling Rosario to receive and team to receive the proclamation. Let's give her a round of applause. I give them a round of applause. Good evening, welcome. Proclamation Arbor Day, April 30th, 2025.
