                                                          family, and tons of fun! Our schools are back in session and we now move
                                                  toward Fall which starts on September 22nd this year. Las Olas Boulevard has been
                                                  busy during this hot summer and we were happy to see so many locals and visitors

                   Vice President
                 Las Olas Association             the boulevard (you know I like to chat). And so many of them shared their experiences
                                                  and stories of great outings, shopping and wonderful dinners on Las Olas Boulevard
                                                  and in beautiful sunny South Florida. I heard and felt lots of Local Love!
                                                  Our first Annual Christmas in July was lots of fun! Water Taxi, the Las Olas
                                                  Association, Winterfest and the Las Olas Company were all sponsors of the event.
                   OFFICERS                       Merchants on the boulevard participated by having drink, dining and sweet treat
                                                  giveaways and specials as well as creating a festive atmosphere with lots of reindeer
                 Luke Moorman                     antlers and Christmas music. The waterways were also festive as Santa chose Fort

               Jodi Jeffreys-Tanner               Christmas Cruises on the Water Taxi. After the cruises, kids and adults alike posed
                 Vice President                   with Santa as he strolled along Las Olas. Santa and his elves checked the “Santa’s

                   Dave Bell                      Mailboxes” for those letters to Santa with wish lists that were written by all the good
                    Secretary                     boys and girls. (I may have written a letter to Santa!) The paparazzi was excited and
                                                  so were we to bring a little Christmas joy and early shopping in July to the boulevard.
