Through out these years I have always served this City in every way possible. Jose Marti once said "Men form two factions: Those who love and build and those who hate and destroy". As you are aware I belong to the faction of those who love and build. This can be demonstrated by my dedicated work, commitment and involvement in the issues affecting Allapattah and other communities as well. Copies of letters from merchants, neighbors and community leaders which I have provided for you in this presentation attest to this facts. Allapattah Business Development Authority, the agency where I earn my living has maintained the record of being the most productive community based organization of all in the City of Miami, receiving for the last three years incentive bonuses for its performance Aside from my paid job with A.B. D.A. I have been involved in different activities for the benefit of Allapattah and the City of Miami, this activities have taken place after regular working hours, weekends and holidays. • Examples: 1 founded the Allapattah Merchants Association a self sustain association. 2513 Northwest 20th Street • Suite 1-A • Miami, Florida 33Y2 • Telephone: (305) 635-3561 ALLAPATTAH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INC.

Through Tri City I have attended meetings in Brownsville and Liberty City to hear and try to find solutions to these communities problems and concerns.

In the last few month I had the honor and privilege to serve in the City Wide Community Development Advisory Board, honor conferred to me by you Vice Mayor Gort and the City Commission. Today, with a tremendous regret I am here to present to you my resignation to that board. The reason for my resignation is that one Commissioner does not believe I deserve the honor to 2613 Northwest 20th Street • Suite 1-A • Miami, Florida 33 Y2 • Telephone: (305) 635-3561 r ALLAPATTAH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INC.
