Computers, tablets, smartphones, and smart watches all place information at your fngertips. We established the “Mayor’s Technology Challenge” in 2016 to improve our residents’ and visitors’ quality of life and communication through innovative technologies. During the fall, we plan to launch our next technology initiative, SIBAlert. SIBAlert will enable citizens to receive emergency notices and warnings from the City. Based on location, we can ensure residents and visitors receive accurate and up-to-date information during critical incidents or emergencies. SIBAlert sends notifcations via a collection of delivery methods including George ‘Bud’ Scholl phone calls, SMS text messages, emails, and a mobile application. Mayor Signing up is quick and easy. I urge all our citizens, both residents and visitors, to visit sibalert.net in the coming months and register for our emergency notifcations. Tese notifcations will help keep you informed and safe in the event of an emergency. Since the announcement of the “Technology Challenge,” we have achieved remarkable technological strides. Our expanded free WiFi coverage allows Dana Goldman Isaac Aelion residents and visitors to stay connected throughout the majority of public Vice Mayor Commissioner areas, recently including all buses in our SIBshuttle service and many locations across the beach through solar units on the lifeguard stands. Soofa benches, which are solar-powered charging stations, keep park-goers fully charged in eight out of our eleven City parks. An electric car charging station in the SIB Government Center parking lot is not only a technological feat, but also a green initiative. Touchscreen kiosks at two premier parks ofer users an Jeanette Gatto Larisa Svechin interactive and fun way to gather information. And the SIB mobile Commissioner Commissioner shuttle application makes our free shuttle bus service more accessible and easy-to-use. Communicating with our residents and visitors is fundamental. We strive to disseminate accurate, relevant, and timely information. With the deluge of information from a variety of sources, you can trust the City of Sunny Isles Beach to tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it. Good communication and good technology are the keys to good government.

  • 2017-18 Season Welcome to the 2017-18 Season of Florida Grand Opera!
    OPERMIAMI | FORT LAUDERDALE A 2017-18 Season WElcOmE To the 2017-18 Season of Florida Grand Opera! Dear Friends: What is it that opera lovers—both veterans and newcomers—crave most? A thrilling experience unlike any other. And that’s what Florida Grand Opera promises you in the 2017-18 Season. We are going on a dramatic journey with four of the most exciting women in opera. And we want you to join us. The season opens with one of the great bel canto classics, Lucia di Lammermoor—a haunting Gothic story about a young Scottish woman, bullied by her abusive family, who sacrifices her true love and descends into madness. We then move to ancient Jerusalem for Richard Strauss’s Salome, the tale of the Judean princess who goes to horrifying lengths to get her way—an opera that still has the power to jolt today’s audiences. Next, we head to the depths with Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, with the legendary musician and poet braving the perils of the Underworld to rescue his beloved Euridice. Finally, we will travel through the Amazon with the heroine of We will bring you dazzling productions cast with world-class artists. We Daniel Catán’s beautiful, lyrical work Florencia en el promise an experience you won’t forget: four women on journeys that Amazonas—one of the most melodious will put them each to the ultimate test. new operas of the past 30 years.

SAVE UP TO 20%* TICKETS: WWW.FGO.ORG | 1.800.741.1010 WELCOME To theWelcome, 2017–18 Season SusanDear friends: letter of Florida Grand Opera! Five years ago, when I came to Florida Grand Opera, I was charged with reinvigorating the company’s repertoire and connecting with the audience in new and meaningful ways. I believe that our 2017–18 Season will possess the greatest depth and breadth of any season we’ve produced yet. There’s something to appeal to a wide range of tastes: the thrill of Italian bel canto with Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor... the steamy eroticism of Richard Strauss’s Salome... the Classical grace and intimate drama of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice... the gorgeous lyricism of Daniel Catán’s Florencia en el Amazonas. Whichever operas you choose, you can’t go wrong: all of them will be brought to life by some of the finest artists on the current international scene. But there’s more to FGO than what’s happening on the main stage. South Florida audiences will also get the full range of the FGO experiences with our SongFest Recital series, featuring gifted members of our Young Artist Program; Community Conversations series, which explore an opera in depth; and Opera Concert series and Family Days that will open up the world of opera to all audiences. But the season can’t happen without you. Come join us—won’t you? Sincerely, Scene from: Orfeo ed Euridice, Act II Photo: © Elise Bakketun for Seattle Opera Susan T.
