WINTER 2016-2017 2 | Winter 2016-2017 WINTER 2016-2017 2 | Winter 2016-2017 CHRISSY DOLIGALSKI Editor, The Sandspur Active Since 2014 INVEST: MAKING THE FUTURE BRIGHT CHRISSY DOLIGALSKI My husband, Mike, and I were blessed to welcome our first child in to the world this past June. Now that the dust and diapers have started to settle, I am starting to think about what kind of legacy I want to leave for our son. Of course, there’s the legacy of a happy home full of love and support. There are 529 plans to be started and pre-schools to check out. There’s the legacy of a household with a working mom and dad and all of the pride, guilt, and “balance” that comes with it. EDITOR'S LETTER As I enter the holiday season, however, one of the most important legacies I want him to inherit is the legacy of voluntarism. The ideals of “thankfulness” and “giving” are all around us in the months of November and December, but as a member of The Junior League of Tampa I see gratitude and service year-round through our community projects, legislative efforts and fiscal priorities. Investing our time, energy and financial resources in the community serves the mission and the vision of our League. In this issue, you’ll see the investment several women have made to build homes that make voluntarism a priority. We shine a spotlight on one of our newest investments, the Young Women’s Entrepreneurship Program (YEP) of the Holiday Gift Market, meant to develop women in their small businesses, and we chat with Gabby Soriano, marketing director for Hyde Park Village about the investment Hyde Park Village is making in the community. We also recap the Florida State Public Affairs Committee (SPAC) fall conference hosted by The Junior League of Tampa and the investment Leagues are making in legislation critical to community betterment, plus much more. As you reflect on this season of giving, I ask you to also consider your investments. Where do you place your resources of time, finance, and energy? What will your legacy be?

  • Crist Letter.Pdf
    FLORIDA HOSPICES AND PALLIATIVE CARE WELCOMES THE NEW GOVERNOR Representatives from Florida Hospices and Palliative Care were pleased to attend the inauguration of Governor Charlie Crist (R) and the members of the Florida Cabinet who each took the oath of office on Tuesday, January 2. On the East Portico of the Old Capitol, well-wishers and political leaders gathered to watch the administering of the oath of office. Charlie Crist took the oath of office as the 44th Governor of Florida, being sworn in by Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice, Fred Lewis. In his short inaugural speech, Crist began by highlighting some of the threats on the immediate horizon. The issues ranged from oil drilling to property taxes. He promised to protect Florida's environment, our quality of life and economy, and said he would promptly address the twin threats of rising homeowners' premiums and property taxes sapping Floridians' pocketbooks. But the overarching theme of his speech was that Florida is a great place to live – in fact, the greatest place to live -- that the future is bright and the best is yet to come. Offering a pledge of bipartisanship, Crist spoke of areas that both political parties want to see improved and suggested that they can and will work together to achieve affordable health care, expanded worker benefits, improved schools, better protected neighborhoods, and clean rivers, beautiful beaches and coastlines free of oil drilling. He also pledged to make government more open, accessible and understandable; vowing to sign an Executive Order requiring government to communicate is simple language to the extent possible.

  • Mcbride Strategy Nailed Target Sat, Sep
    Mcbride Strategy Nailed Target Sat, Sep. 21, 2002 By Tyler Bridges Miami Herald Staf Writer On April 23 last year, while Tallahassee was consumed with end-of-session battles at the state Capitol, a politically unknown attorney with a far-fetched idea was getting acquainted across the street with five union leaders. For 45 minutes over soft drinks, Bill McBride described his up-from-the- bootstraps background, emphasized that Florida needed to invest more in education and offered himself as the best Democratic candidate for governor. It was a brazen pitch from a soft-spoken man who was a political nobody preparing to challenge a host of formidable opponents. But it worked. "Everybody in the room took an immediate liking to him. After that, it would have been tough to get people off the Bill McBride bandwagon, " said Mike Williams, president of the Florida Building Trades union and host of the meeting. McBride became the Democratic candidate for governor thanks to a winning blueprint that he initially developed 18 months ago, when he was still the longest of long shots, and that he refined in late 2001 after hiring a team of professional consultants, when he still trailed former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno by 51 percentage points. His strategy: Woo key Democratic leaders before his opponents began to mobilize; develop an education plan that would resonate with voters unhappy with Florida's schools; win the early endorsement of the state's unions; avoid attacking Reno; tap into his own political and legal contacts to raise money - and slip past Reno in the final week of the campaign after a barrage of TV ads.
