Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson showed resident soccer players her own athletic skills at the grand opening of the Little Haiti Multi-Cultural Soccer Tournament at the Little Haiti “Manno Sanon” Park in Miami on Sunday, May 24, 2009.

Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson presented an award to Moise D. Pierre of Hurbert O. Sibley Elementary, one of 13 winning students of the Miami-Dade Water-Use Efficiency Program’s (WUEP) “Every Drop Counts” poster contest to promote water conservation.

In 1897, William Brickell sold a 10-acre piece of land to the City of Miami for $750 which became the municipal cemetery.  The first burial, not recorded, was of an elderly black man on July 14, 1897.  Commissioner Audrey Edmonson paid tribute to that unknown black man and the hundreds of other African-American Miami pioneers on Sunday, April 26, at the Dade Heritage Trust's Sixteenth Annual Commemorative Service and Youth Talent on Parade.

Commissioner Edmonson is paving the way for the restoration of the Historic Hampton House Motel in Brownsville, a mecca for high-profile black entertainers and leaders in the 1950s and 1960s.

Commissioner Edmonson’s message was loud and clear as she spoke to a crowd at the Caleb Center on Saturday, March 21: the violence must stop.  The commissioner participated in the Miami-Dade Violence Intervention Project’s youth event, which urged young residents to take charge in preventing violence in their neighborhoods.

The installation of Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez, Chairman Bruno A. Barreiro and Members of the Board of County Commissioners took place at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County.
