The first meeting of the new Tamarac Historical Society was held on Tuesday, July 14, 2009. The response from the community to the call for volunteers and donations has been tremendous – about 20 individuals have stepped forward so far to volunteer with the project and many more have made donations of photographs, memorabilia, personal recollections and more!
The volunteers have been meeting on a regular basis as they tackle the formidable task of organizing the Society’s structure as well as the existing historical data, artifacts, and new donations.
Wendy Wangberg, the Historian for the City of Coral Springs, was a guest speaker at one of the early meetings and graciously hosted the volunteers for a fact-finding, and inspirational, field trip to the Museum of Coral Springs History (located at Mullins Park, 10250 N.W. 29 St. Coral Springs, behind the Performing Arts Center), on Tuesday, August 18, 2009.
The volunteers are on track to have their first display this December at City Hall, and we need your help — whether you want to volunteer your time, donate items of interest, or share your recollections of Tamarac’s past. Please email history@tamarac.org, or call (954) 597-3523.
