Happy Thanksgiving / Election Highlight

As president of International Village Association, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. After the turmoil of the last couple of weeks, we certainly can all be thankful that the post-election drama that once again thrust Broward County into a negative national spotlight is finally over. But in light of the final results, I want to especially thank the community for your overwhelming response to my election recommendations post of last month. According to the final official results, our precinct (L10) gave Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott (our incoming Republican governor and U.S. senator) their second highest vote totals out of all of Lauderhill’s 19 precincts! So give yourselves a well deserved round of applause!

But with the 2020 election only two years away, we all know that we have to keep up the momentum in order to ensure President Trump’s reelection. That’s why I would like to get the ball rolling on creating an Inverrary Republican Club that could meet monthly right here in International Village. The club would invite speakers, discuss issues and organize activities to keep the community engaged and help elect more Republicans. As an added bonus, it would probably attract more Republicans to move to International Village! And whatever your party background, we can all agree that as a general rule Republicans are a very good class of neighbors to have. Just look at the most Republican communities in Broward: Coral Ridge, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Southwest Ranches, among others. They are also the safest, cleanest and most prosperous communities in Broward. So what better way to revitalize our community than to make it more Republican!

Please email me back if you think you might be interested in joining our new Inverrary Republican Club. I will add your name to the list, and once enough people reply to this post, I will call our first meeting!

Once again, have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and may God bless our community, our state and our nation!
