MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER MAXWELL B. CHAMBERS

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Hello Miramar Residents;

The Commissioner of the people Maxwell B. Chambers here, hoping you enjoyed a fantastic summer. My office worked hard to make sure our physical interaction with you was priority. Last summer, the pandemic hindered our ability to safely celebrate together, so this year we organized events that atoned for the past incapacities.

Our annual National Night Out event had great turnouts throughout the city. If you weren’t able to join this years’ gatherings, please come out next year to meet our first responders and get up to date education regarding safety and security measures the City of Miramar fosters within our community. My infamous Popcorn and Snow Cone machines were exhausted by the end of the night.

We ushered our little scholars back to school by supporting a plethora of fun filled book bag giveaways. I was honored to be invited to a City of Miramar small businesses owner GAMER ROLLERS office located in Historical East Miramar where the company supplied children with stuffed bookbags and gave them the opportunity to enjoy their product niche of mobile video gaming. All local children were gifted hours of free gaming and food.
A book bag giveaway like no other….I supported and sponsored the Dreamcatchers Lotus back to school retreat. Family’s’ were treated to a back to school event like no other. The day included holistic education, healthy meals, mindfulness, yoga and stress management classes and workshops, where the main objective was to prepare our young scholars for a successful return to classes.
