Justin Rodriguez  Assistant Store Manager, TD Bank Miami Lakes  “I’d love to see the whole community come together, and some live music,” Justin Rodriguez said.  “[I’d like to see] a slide show, showing how it was back in the day to what it has become. I’d love to see a side by side, to give us younger generation a glimpse of the past.”

Anthony Gomez Mortgage Loan Originator, First Origin Mortgage Lenders Pembroke Pines  “I’d like to see family and a lot of kids out there,” Anthony Gomez said.  “Good food and good vibes is what I’m looking for.”

Tiffany Poston  Sales, AT&T FirstNet  Miami Lakes  “I’d like to have more diversified entertainment and more [interactive games],” Tiffany Poston said. “We are definitely a family town, and it would be great to have that family [interaction].”

Mario O. Pinera Jr.  Chief Operating Officer M.O.P. Auto Parts  Miami Lakes   “We’re definitely a town that likes entertainment,” Mario O. Pinera Jr. said. “I would like to see some new entertainment but definitely would like to showcase our old time Miami Lakers, those that have been here since the beginning. I think there is a couple of those in the town who are a staple of the town. At the end, it is a great event for the town to come together.” 

Kris Taki   Merchant Service Manager, TD Bank  Tamarac “So for the 25th anniversary event, I would say a multicultural event, see some more different cultures that Miami Lakes has to offer,” Kris Taki said.
