3 vs. 3

I’ve never been one to watch sports, while I can definitely get into watching a game, I’d rather play. There’s something about getting that adrenaline rush of playing a sport. Whether or not you’ll score or if you can defend your opponent well enough it’s great!

On July 31 City of Margate Parks and Recreation will be hosting a 3 on 3 basketball tournament for anyone that wishes to play (18 yrs. or older)! There will be four divisions for the tournament; 6ft and under, Open, Ages 35 and older, and Women. The cost to participate in the tournament is $80 per team. You’re only allowed to be in a maximum of two divisions.

You can register at either:

Firefighters Park 2500 Rock Island Rd. (954)255-3501

Park and Recreations Office 6110 NW 10 St.  (954) 972-9458

Bring Your Hands to the Sand!

This Saturday, June 26 Hands Across the Sands will be at it again! In hopes to stop dependence on fossil fuels, this organization is once again joining hands across the nation’s beaches, parks and cities to stop the dangers of offshore oil drilling.

Hands Across The Sands was founded back in October of 2009. Dan Rauschkolb the founder organized a statewide event on February 13, 2010. All over Florida people gathered to send a message to their legislators and Governor Crist that they did not want the offshore drilling bans lifted in Florida waters. This Saturday it’s happening again but not only in Florida, all over the nation and the world!

Hands Across The Sand’s mission is to change our energy policy away from its dependence on fossil fuels and into the light of clean energy. The aim is to convince our leaders to abandon expanded offshore oil drilling and adopt policies that encourage clean and renewable energy resources.

This weekend beaches in Ft. Lauderdale are participating, so you can join hands!
