Mayor Julio Robaina, the esteemed City Council, the City of Hialeah Department of Parks and Recreation’s Early Prevention and Intervention Youth and Internship Program (E.P.I), along with the Miami-Dade County Health Department and the University of Miami, will celebrate its 4th Annual Youth Tobacco Prevention Summit.

This year the Youth Tobacco Prevention Summit will highlight the candy-flavored tobacco products that have emerged from big tobacco companies. These new, flavored tobacco products are now being used to allure youth into lifelong tobacco addiction.

Tobacco use continues to be the single most preventable cause of death and disease in the United States. In most cases, the decision to smoke or use tobacco products is not made by adults, but impressionable adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18 years of age. Don’t let our children become a statistic. Show your support for creating a tobacco-free Miami-Dade and protecting the health and future of our youth.

For more information on the summit please contact William Sanchez at the City of Hialeah’s Department of Parks and Recreation, at 305-687-2650.

Enjoy exhibit booths, live entertainment, bounce houses, readings by international authors and a special presentations by Mayor Robaina and Councilwoman Cue, who will launch their new children’s book “When I Grow Up”. They will read to a special group of library students and sign copies of their new release at 11:30 am in the Children’s Corner.

Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina and Councilwoman Katharine Cue are very excited to present the launch of their very own children’s book, “When I Grow Up” The book for elementary school kids, encourages children to become positive role models, promotes community involvement and caring about our planet and others. The City of Hialeah Literacy Fair and a special group of young invited guest will be the back drop to the event that will host a book reading and signing by the authors of the new release. Mayor Robaina and Councilwoman Cue will be joined by other well known authors such as poet Manuel Vazquez Portal and childrens author Lucia Gonzalez.

Mayor Robaina and Councilwoman Cue were heart set on keeping the book in Hialeah and supporting local businesses, so they choose AC Graphics and Dobbs and Brodeur both Hialeah companies and supporters of their Green Initiatives. “With the combined efforts of these two companies we were able to meet our goal of making the book with as many green initiatives as possible”, stated Mayor Robaina.

The book was completely made with paper from sustainable well managed forest, printed with vegetable inks and both the front and back cover are from recycled particle board and bound with water soluble glue. .

AC Graphics is a certified green partner and encouraged the green initiatives that are now used in all the city of Hialeah departments. Dobbs and Brodeur Bookbinders is one of the last hard cover bookbinders in South Florida and a staple of Hialeah for 60 years. At age 19, the present owner Luis Lloret, held his first part time job there and in 1985 at age 45 became the owner. The company has helped put all seven of Luis’s children through school. The family establishment was the place where the kids would come and do odd jobs after school. Now the second generation of Lloret’s will be taking over the family business. Anthony, Jorge and Edward Lloret are presently running the daily operations as dad looks on.

Mayor Robaina and Councilwoman Cue know the challenges that our local schools are currently faced with and have pledged to help however they can. They embarked on this crusade a year ago, as part of the Mayor’s Educational Initiatives and decided that all proceeds from the sale of the book would go to support this cause that help students in the City of Hialeah.

When – Saturday September 19, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.
Where – John F Kennedy Library 190 West 49 Street.

The Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation Shelter Build 1/10/09

Posted on    by

FROM: The Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation

This coming Saturday, the 10th of January, we will be sponsoring a rebuilding of the shelter at Raphael’s shelter (The Animal Lover’s Help & Rescue Mission) starting at 10:00 a.m. It is located at 2460 West 2nd Avenue, Hialeah, Fl. 33011. If you would like to come and participate please confirm at 786-499-1278 or this e mail.

Raphael has over 150 dogs and cats at his shelter, with no donations, no volunteers and all out of his pocket. He is a non-profit 501c3 org. He is the “place” where folks either turn in animals or literally dump them at the shelter. Some of our members, including yours truly, were there yesterday helping and sizing up the situation. We have over 30 kids doing Community Hours that will be participating, along all our org members. However, we need materials such as: cement, paint, tools, lumber, nails, drills, gardening tools and equipment, gravel rocks, a large carp or tent, dog & cat toys, shampoos, flea & tick meds, dog houses or igloos, a large shed, cat & dog food, dog collars & leashes, dog brushes, …well you get the picture. All supplies may be dropped of there or we will pick up. They may also be brought on Saturday. We also need a “lunch” sponsor; those kids will be hungry about mid day…

We also need hands on carpenters, plumbers, gardeners, roofers, contractors, name it…Noah’s Ark wouldn’t be a bad idea…if you have or know of companies willing to donate goods…we can give them the 501c3 forms for write offs.

If there’s any media who would like to cover or promote this…please contact me directly. It would be greatly appreciated…

Last but not least…if the City of Hialeah would like to help out…also contact me directly…

Looking forward to a successful rebuilding and your participation in such!

Respectfully,
Dahlia Canes
The Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation.
