Add Review/Comment

Lauderhill became a City on June 20th, 1959. Two years ago, the City Commission appointed several members of the public to the '50th Anniversary Volunteer Committee' to work on various programs and events to help celebrate this most auspicious occasion. Last month, the Anniversary Committee held a Celebrity Throw Back Golf Tournament at the Inverrary Country Club, where Mrs. Gleason, wife of Jackie Gleason, and several NBA and NFL players enjoyed a fabulous day of golf with several Lauderhill residents. For Lauderhill's middle school students, the Committee wrote and will be distributing historical Lesson Plans for teachers to implement, while elementary students will receive Lauderhill coloring books and crayons. With that, a Lauderhill history/pictorial magazine is currently being produced for those history buffs who want to take Lauderhill's history home for their coffee tables. To close out this year of reflection, the Anniversary's Committee, along with the Mayor and City Commission, will hold an official '50th Anniversary Celebration,' at the site of Lauderhill's Future City Hall. Under a big tent, next to the building being constructed, the Anniversary Committee's Chairperson, Former City Commissioner, Tyson T. Jones, will lead the Celebration that will honor the residents living in Lauderhill the longest, highlight accomplishments, and open the long-time buried Time Capsule! After the ceremony, a live band will play the hits of the last five decades and refreshments will be served. Happy Anniversary Lauderhill!
