Hello everyone,
For this week’s note, I simply wanted to lift and share the comprehensive article below that ran in the Miami Herald yesterday celebrating the ongoing preparations and excitement building for our community’s FIFA World Cup host efforts.
A special thanks and acknowledgment to sportswriter and columnist Michelle Kaufman for really capturing the story and the excitement. This is a vivid example to educate readers on the impact of our sports and entertainment ecosystem and the unrivaled potential that makes our destination the center and envy of the sporting world.
