We're just beginning our research, but last night's meeting of Concerned Citizens of Cutler Bay gave some opening clues.
Parks are very important to the citizens of the town. Relief from traffic congestion on certain streets is also important. So is keeping property taxes under control.
Support of the U.S. military is another interest. "Thinking of You" is a Cutler Bay grass roots organization headed by Freddy Ambrose (Defi@msn.com; phone 786-252-2798). This group collects care packages about four times a year to send to GIs in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq. Among the items requested are beef jerky, diaper wipes (useful in the Mideastern scorching heat), chap stick, deodorant, coffee in 8 oz or 16 oz bags, and energy bars.
This group is sponsoring a barbecue from noon to 5 pm on Saturday, June 28 at the Coast Guard Station, 16001 SW 117th Ave. They ask that people who attend bring contributions for the care boxes. The barbecue is intended to show appreciation to the volunteers who have supported the program throughout the year.
Those interested in attending the barbecue should RSVP (see the email or phone number above) by June 7.
