Sister Cities Mayor Naugle introduced Dr. John Fletemeyer who was going to make a presentation on behalf of Sister Cities. Dr. John Fletemeyer stated that he had learned about Fort Lauderdale’s Sister Cities Program about 6 months ago from Mayor Naugle, and that Cape Haitien was to be adopted as a Sister City. After some discussion, they had decided to start an aquatic safety initiative, and after much research he had discovered the seriousness of drowning in Cape Haitien. He stated that he had contacted Eddie Remy, President of the American Haitian Council, and decided to start their program with 3 important objectives in mind. The first objective was to provide as many Haitien children with water safety lessons, and a special book was written in French Creole and distributed to more than 8,000 individuals. The next objective was to teach as many Haitian children as possible how to swim which was problematic because the pools had no water in them due to fresh water being at a premium. Consequently, they could only fill one pool, but did so and trained 450 children. The third objective was to provide water training to members of the Fire and Police Departments. He stated that during their 5-day stay, 32 officers were given expert training. Dr. Fletemeyer stated in regard to the program development, they had to overcome the hurdle of funding to pay for air transportation, equipment, and supplies. He announced that besides the International Swimming Hall of Fame stepping up to the plate, so did other companies and foundations, including Swims, Inc.; Swim Central, Every Child a Swimmer; Kiefer & Associates, Winn-Dixie Supermarkets; and the South Florida American Haitian Business Council. A team was assembled and their objectives were met. Dr. Fletemeyer announced that 6 weeks from now they were going to bring Haitien policemen and firemen to Fort Lauderdale to receive some expert training. He stated they also planned on bringing a medical objective to the table and 3 doctors had volunteered their time and expertise to the program. Dr. Fletemeyer recognized Ocean Rescue Lifeguards William Boyle, Eric Jersted and Randolph Merriweather for volunteering their time and efforts to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Sister Cities International organization to provide swimming and aquatic safety lessons to the children of Cape Haitien, Haiti. 4. United Way Campaign Boe Cole, City Treasurer, stated that this was his first year in working on this campaign. He announced that Rachel Hirsh, United Way, would distribute forms to the Commission. Last year the City had raised $84,025 which was part of the $13 Million raised by United Way, and they were able to return about $.81 out of each $1.00 received. He stated that the monies raised stayed in Broward County, and their goal this year was to collect $100,000. Rachel Hirsh explained they had distributed 211 sheets which offered over 3,000 programs for the citizens of this City. MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING 11/04/03 - 3 5. Allen Babcock Cat and Dog Rescue Commissioner Hutchinson recognized Brasserie Las Olas for hosting the Allen Babcock Cat and Dog Rescue event held on October 2, 2003.

For example, the debates about regulating sex and the legal rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender ("LGBT") individuals have often centered on society's dif- fering views of what is right and what is wrong.' In fact, one does not have to look further than the State of Florida's own history to see how views of morality have shaped its laws regarding sexual identity. Much of this history began thirty years ago when a runner up to Miss America and spokesperson for Florida Citrus Association, Anita Bryant,2 began a crusade against "homosexuality."
