FREE back to school immunizations!

Hello to our Community Partners. Once again, the Florida Department of Health in Broward is asking you to help inform the public about our annual Back-to-School Immunization campaign. The Department will vaccinate school-age children for free at Lauderhill Mall from August 10 to 25. Last year, we gave more than 5,000 vaccinations to 2,100 children. This year, we hope to do even better. You can help by hanging flyers about the campaign, distributing information cards to families and posting notices on your website. The items are available in English, Spanish and Creole. See samples below (too small to print or post). To obtain the items, please contact Bob LaMendola at 954-213-0607 or robert.lamendola@flhealth.gov and tell us how many of each you want and in what languages. We will deliver them to you in the next week or two. Thanks very much and we hope to hear from you.

Halloween Party 2010

The Halloween Party was a howling success. Thanks to the City of Fort Lauderdale Parks and Recreation Dept. - especially Lisa Thomas and Eric Thomas. Eric is the REALLY tall guy who always comes up with the best costume to amaze the kids. Thanks also to Buddy Sherman & the Southport Raw Bar for donating the delicious hotdogs and bottled water. The McDonald's restaurant on SR84 & SW 12 Ave generously donated the prizes for the first 250 kids to arrive. And, of course, all the neighbors from Croissant Park who supported the event with their donations of candy and cash so the kids could have a fabulous party.

HAS A RUNAWAY RUN INTO DANGER?

BSO Case Number: BS10-01-05678
PIO Number: 10-4-9
Date: 2/3/10
Time: 6:30 p.m. Jurisdiction: Unincorporated Broward County
Place of Occurrence: Unincorporated Broward County
Victim(s):

Jainy Santos-Ramos, 14, female, 11/25/95, 1820 SW 44 Terrace, #2, unincorporated Broward County.
Suspect(s):

N/A
Description of Incident:

Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives are seeking the public’s help in locating a young girl. Although she’s known to be a habitual runaway, she has never been gone this long.

It’s been over two months since Lazaro Santos last saw his 14-year-old daughter Jainy. On Jan. 25, Santos filed a missing persons report with BSO after his daughter didn’t return home from school. Nine days later, on February 3, Santos contacted deputies to notify them of Jainy’s return. However, that same night, at around 11 p.m., she left again and her father hasn’t seen her since.

Santos hoped his daughter would come home but a month later, after not seeing or hearing from her, he once again filed a missing persons report with BSO. He fears her extended absence could mean she’s run into trouble on the streets.

Jainy is a white female who measures about 5’7” in height, weighs about 120 lbs., and has brown, collar-length hair and green eyes. She was last seen in the Ft. Lauderdale area and has been known to frequent the water creek on SW 25th Street, between SW 41 Avenue and the Riverland Park.

Anyone with information about Jainy’s whereabouts is asked to contact BSO Missing Persons Detective Chris Blankenship at 954-321-4240. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Broward Crime Stoppers by calling 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org.

***MEDIA NOTE: A picture of Jainy is attached to this news release on our website www.sheriff.org.
