September 2020 CPCA General Meeting

 CPCA General Meeting September 2020

Greetings Croissant Park Neighbors,

—Our Zoom meeting on September 29^th was hosted by Association president Pat Rathburn. All Board members were in attendance, including Michelle DiMaria, Rhonda Kramer, Joe Russell, Heather Cunniff, Jodi Perraud and Virginia Russell.

—FLPD Officer Rodriguez joined our meeting tonight to give us the Neighborhood Crime Team report.  For the period from August 29^th to September 29^th we had only one residential burglary, due to a domestic issue.  According to Ofc.  Rodriguez, the low crime occurrence during this period is probably due to COVID-19 quarantine effects.  An interesting and welcome outcome to our many months of lockdown.

—Michelle invited Denise Elliot from the League of Women Voters to present the League’s very practical Power Point that guided us through the many Constitutional Amendments, Broward County and State  issues on the General Election Ballot for the November 3^rd election.  

-The last day to register to vote is October 5^th.   Vote by mail is available and the ballots are being mailed now.  There are several drop boxes available city-wide for your ballot as of October 24^th.  If you mail your ballot it must be RECEIVED by November 3^rd, NOT JUST POSTMARKED by then.  Mail early!!

-You can track your ballot by name  and birthdate at www.browardsoe.org to make sure it has been received.

-Early voting will be available from October 19^th to November 1^st at 22 sites city-wide.  You will need a picture ID and proof of signature, preferably the same ID
