Cookout on Feb. 1 Kicks Off Black History Month

As Florida and the federal governments try to silence and hide people, it is imperative to shout out and show up. That is exactly how South Florida’s LGBTQ community is starting Black History Month.
The month of February is dedicated to celebrating Black excellence and a pair of events on Saturday, Feb. 1, will do just that.
The annual CAN Community Health/Midland Cookout is from 1-6 p.m. at Mickel Park in Wilton Manors.
Cookouts are a culturally important part of the Black community. Coming together, sharing food, dancing and more are a celebration of traditions, both old and new, that connect generations and make history vibrant and relevant.
The fourth annual Cookout will feature giveaways, raffles, and a dominoes tournament and a Spades tournament with cash prizes. CAN will provide free HIV testing and the family friendly event will also have The IKEA Kid’s Zone.
The celebration is also a fundraiser. All drink proceeds will go to Legacy Builders, an organization collectively building bridges in BIPOC & LGBTQIA communities as change agents through arts & culture.

Fun-loving Kane (ID 693890) would love to go home with you.
This 1-year-old cutie is a shepherd mix who has lots of spirit, so be sure you have the energy to keep him entertained. Sadly, he lost his home because he was too strong for his owner. Kane is friendly, playful, knows a few basic commands, and he likes water…not sure if he will be swimming in the pool or playing in the sprinklers, but he is always ready to have fun. Older kids might be best with his exuberant personality, and if you have a dog at home a meet and greet can be arranged. His profile does say he is good with dogs, but unknown how he is with felines. Can Kane be your newest family member?

WAXING CRESCENT MOON IN PISCES: Creativity unfurls, and intuition deepens.
CAREER: A project emerges victorious, glowing with promise as it reaches a significant milestone for you and your team. Yet, tread carefully, for relentless focus threatens to sow discord and misdirect efforts. Celebrate this triumph, fostering a harmonious balance between work and life. Rekindle creativity and camaraderie before embarking on the next quest.
LOVE: Your love story unfolds in a rich tapestry of security and deep bonds. Yet, in this blissful embrace, be mindful not to hold too tightly. While nurturing your connection, it's possible that friendships and family ties may have been unintentionally neglected. Invite loved ones into this journey, enriching your relationship by sharing joyous moments with them.
