Miami Lakes advisory board backs two community sponsorships: $250 for DeMoya meet‑and‑greet and $500 for pickleball tournament
Summary
The advisory board approved a $250 sponsorship to help cover food at a DeMoya Foundation meet‑and‑greet and a $500 sponsorship for a pickleball tournament that includes promotional table space; both motions passed by voice vote.
The Miami Lakes Special Needs Advisory Board approved two event sponsorships during its meeting: $250 to sponsor food at a DeMoya Foundation meet‑and‑greet on May 22 and $500 as a sponsorship level for a pickleball tournament scheduled Aug. 30.
Kimberly (local business owner and event organizer) described the DeMoya meet‑and‑greet as a free, small evening event (6–9 p.m.) to introduce the foundation to residents and local businesses; the board approved a $250 allocation to cover food costs. "We are looking for sponsors to help cover the cost of food," she said. The board moved and approved the allocation by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a $500 sponsorship for a pickleball tournament organized as an awareness event for special needs programming; the sponsorship includes two tournament slots and a table for outreach and promotion. The motion passed by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and members saying "Aye," but does not include a roll‑call with individual votes.
Both sponsorships were described as using existing advisory‑board program funds; no additional conditions or long‑term commitments were attached in the meeting. Board members said they would publicize the events and consider staffing information tables at the functions when possible.
