Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. You might remember a month or so ago when we came to you with our summer time initiative which was water safety for the community, all ages, right? And we had a nice little get together up here which was great in recognition of proclamation et cetera. Well today the accumulation of this entire summertime program resulted in the county, Department of Health, recognizing us with a gold standard award for water safety and drowning in our city, which is amazing. And you might also remember, or you might have seen in the community these orange rings that are around the lakes. That's a labor of love from this young lady here, Sarah Perry, and it's called Aidan's Project. And she has a little story about that also. But we put all these pieces together to bring forward to you for recognition that we received this award. So without further ado, I'm going to bring everybody up. First of all, would you like the address Ms. Fathom? Ladies and gentlemen this is Vannees Roll with the Department of Health Drone and Prevention Program. Good evening everyone. So I just want to read the plaque. So what is smart community probably awarded to the City of Oakland Park for a successful completion of all of the all gold tier requirements as outlined in our Watersmart Community's Initiative award for 2024 so thank you for all the hard work and dedication that you've put in to ensure that City of Oakland Park is safe for our community. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I don't know if you're aware, but drowning is a big issue in Oakland Park. We've had three drownings this year, particularly over in the rural palm area and veterans park area. And we just had one an hour ago. Gentlemen flipped over in this kayak. So it is something that you know We need to be keenly aware of and focus our our our resources and efforts on so with that I wanted to bring up Miss Perry to talk about the life rings real quick Sarah Good evening, person. Thank you so much for allowing me to hear mayor vice mayor commission and chief Thank you for inviting to aid in Perry Hero Life Freeing Initiative to your great city. Aiden's mom, two years ago my son and I were out walking our dog and we witnessed the car lose control and ultimately landed in the lake. The driver of the car when he opened the door and called out for help, my son answered his call the only way he knew how by jumping in. Unfortunately, we did so. My son's head hit a rock. He broke a neck. His neck and my son died instantly. The driver of the car also died. So I've just seen as you can imagine, my life has been forever changed. I knew I had to do something about it. So in my son's honor, I created the Aiden Perry Hero Life Ring Initiative. And we have the life rings like you see here in your great city by son's hero message on them as a reminder of his last most selfless act and with the hopes of preventing future drownings and preventing Good Samaritan's losing their life and they try to save the life of somebody else. So I appreciate Chief Harry's been amazing reaching out to the collaboration with your city to bring our hero life rings to the city of Ocamparque and it brings me peace knowing that should be a emergency. There's something there available that a good Samaritan can use to save a life without losing their life in the project. So thank you so much for having me here for having our rings in your great city and helping me keep the promise I made to my son to not let him be forgotten as I live his legacy and continue his works of kindness. So thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Just a quick comment. These are the boots on the ground. These are the ones that really did the work. And it means so much to me to know that you guys did this and that we have actually had an impact in the city in preventing drowning. So thank you very much. Thank you for the recognition. Thank you so much for your participation. We have ten of these in the city already and plan on more. So keep that in mind if you have any ideas for them to forming. Okay.
