Tamarac Mayor Michelle Gomez used her monthly letter to thank sponsors and volunteers for the 2026 Ha-Ha’s for the Tatas Comedy Night, then turned to a busy November calendar in the city.
The city’s Veterans Day ceremony is set for Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 10:30 a.m. at Veterans Park, 7825 Southgate Blvd. Organizers plan to unveil the 14th panel of the Honor Wall, which bears the names of 100 veterans who live or have lived in Tamarac. The Tamarac Veterans Affairs Committee will collect non-perishable food, toiletries, socks and hand towels for unhoused veterans. Retired Major Will Rodriguez will give the keynote.
Veterans can also attend the Paychecks for Patriots Career Fair, run with CareerSource Broward on Tuesday, Nov. 17, starting at 9 a.m. at the Tamarac Community Center. The first hour is reserved for veterans only, and attendees should pre-register.
Men’s health takes center stage Saturday, Nov. 7, when the Lumana Foundation Cup soccer tournament runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tamarac Sports Complex, 9901 NW 77th St. A Promise Fund mammogram van will also be on site.
The annual Tamarac Turkey Trot 5K starts at 7:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, at City Hall, 7525 NW 88th Ave. The $35 entry fee includes a t-shirt for the first 2,000 registrants, and finishers with a bib receive a medal.
Daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 1, so clocks go back an hour. The mayor also noted that a Tamarac World War II veteran, Anthony “Tony” Morro, turns 104 on Nov. 2.
