Sunday, we celebrate fathers and all they do for their children, including changing diapers. Remember to throw them in the garbage, and not in the curbside recycling cart.

Today, we had the honor of celebrating the incredible fathers in our senior community at our annual SoMi Seniors Father’s Day Luncheon. 💙👔

The luncheon was filled with laughter, friendship, and appreciation as our participants enjoyed a catered lunch, music from a live DJ, raffle prizes, massage chair services, manicures, and a special cigar keepsake to commemorate the occasion.

This celebration would not have been possible without the support of our community partners and volunteers. Thank you to the Office of Commissioner Raquel Regalado for the generous donations, Popular Bank volunteers for lending a helping hand, and Mayor Javier Fernandez and Commissioner Danny Rodriguez for stopping by to celebrate with our seniors.

Most importantly, today was a reminder to celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, father figures, and mentors who have shaped generations with their love, guidance, and unwavering support.

💙 Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in our community. Thank you for the lessons you teach, the memories you create, and the impact you continue to make every day.

Hey, dads: ropes are great for jumping, but ropes, strings and wire aren’t good for recycling. They tangle the machines and shut them down. They should never go in the curbside recycling bin. They belong in the trash.

It is Waste and Recycling Workers Week. The WM crew shows up rain or shine, whether it is hurricane season or not.
