It is officially October in Miramar. Tonight, I am not only joined by our very credible and capable staff, but with Broward County's interim cultural division director, Amanda Kovic. It is extremely exciting to have interim director Kovic here at a time that we celebrate this month and reveal all the exciting things that make the city a unique cultural dividest within the county. It is important to note that the county at the same time is applauding its own celebration of 50 years of public art and design, of which the city of Miramar has started to indelibly lay their footprint. At this time, I will have interim director Kovic come forward with greetings. Good evening. Let's give her a round of applause. Good evening. Thank you all so much for welcoming me here. Miramar stands as a jewel in arts and culture throughout Broward County. Um we've been honored to be able to support many of the arts programs through many funds and sponsorships. Fifty years of designing Broward County is an incredible, momentous place. Art brings us home. Art is resilient. And the way that we place these public art pieces within our community showcases who we are as a community.
