FORT LAUDERDALE’S NORTHWEST COMMUNITY PREPARES TO LAUNCH A NEW BRAND & WEBSITE

HISTORIC SISTRUNK COLLECTION DAY PARTY – SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2015 4:30PM-7:30PM

There is something new and exciting on the horizon in Fort Lauderdale’s Northwest Community including a new brand and website.  The City of Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale Community Redevelopment Agency, and the Historic Sistrunk Community Council will host the From Past to Present Historic Sistrunk Collection Day Party on Saturday, September 19, 2015 from 4:30pm-7:30pm.  The event will be held at the Fort Lauderdale Negro Chamber of Commerce (1021 NW 6th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311).

The Historic Sistrunk Collection Day Party will engage the community in gathering pictures, memorabilia and stories of the dynamic history and contributions of Historic Sistrunk to Broward County.  Stakeholders are welcome to bring anything they would like to have showcased and included.  Oral-history interviews will also be conducted.  We are seeking items that highlight the history of people, businesses, churches, schools, government, social events, weather and other notable accomplishments in the Historic Sistrunk community.  Items can be donated, loaned or scanned and returned.   These items and information will be used for the upcoming Historic Sistrunk website (www.historicsistrunk.com), the launch of the Historic Sistrunk brand, and a possible temporary or permanent exhibition.  Refreshments will be provided for participants.
