The ACaloosahatchee River, nearby beaches, superb climate, and abundant natural resources always have made the city mar- ketable worldwide. Look at today’s postcards and promotional literature, and you’ll see many of the same themes that sold Fort Myers to the world more than a century ago: soothing river scenes, the First Street business district, royal-palm-lined McGregor Boulevard, game fishing, and the Edison and Ford winter homes. Even Everglades drainage and dredging were hyped in the early years of the 20th century because they — “reclaimed” land for profitable agri- culture, transportation, and development. A 1912 poster, for example, proclaimed dredging and draining “progressive.” By 1919, when the city population numbered a mere 16,000, city boosterism kicked into overdrive. Whiffs of the real-estate boom were in the air, and marketing to potential business owners and permanent residents joined the appeals to tourists. The message was plain and direct in one 1919 publication: “Locate your busi- ness headquarters here. Locate your permanent home here. Come before develop- ment is at its height. Come while the opportunities are here in great numbers. Get here before the rush and grow up with us.” This postcard, probably from the late 1900s, predates the time when Fort Myers unques- Selling the Fort Myers lifestyle intensified, too. tionably became the City of Palms courtesy of Florida State Archives The upscale publication noted the “general atmosphere of friendship” that per- Thriving business and low taxes were marketed vaded the city and urged potential investors and residents to escape the “humdrum, alongside amenities such as the city park, where daily, workaday routine” and discover a place of “charm and wonder where the an endless round of games, dances and other simplicities overshadow the complexities of life.” diversions were on offer. Highly profitable agricultural and horticultural industries, particularly citrus, were showcased along with game-fishing in the gulf and world-class golf courses. Glowing reports about schools, the hospital and community organizations reassured future residents that they could enjoy both a sound and functioning “hometown” community and a business climate to die for. During this era, Fort Myers was often described as the Gateway or Gate City to the Tropics, a catchy phrase that would soon lose out to the one still with us today, the City of Palms. Who knows how effective the promotions really were, but between 1920 and the end of 1926, Fort Myers’ population grew from only 3,678 to more than 23,000! By the late 1920s, the city could boast of a new country club, recreation pier, numerous new schools, and railroad service by both the Atlantic Coastline and Seaboard Airline railways. continued on page 4

Adult cats may be adopted for just $8, the cost of the county pet Llicense, and kittens may be adopted for $10. Cats and kittens are always two- for-one at Animal Services. If it’s a canine companion you are seeking, visit the shelter and check out the vast array of dogs that may be adopted for only $30. During summer months, shelter adoption numbers typically drop while animal intake numbers increase. “Hopefully by reducing our already low fees even further we will get the attention of people who are considering a new pet for their family,” said Donna Ward, LCDAS director. “It’s a chance to save a life and keep the shelter’s population at a manageable level,” she added. Although fees have been drastically reduced, the adoption package valued at $500 Summer Sale still includes the following: • Spay/neuter surgery • Age-appropriate vaccinations • Rabies vaccination and county license for pets over three months old • 10-day pet health guarantee 50% off • Microchip ID • Feline leukemia and AIDS test for Canine cats • Heartworm test for dogs over six Country All Merchandise months old • Flea treatment Club • De-worming Clothing, Purses, Jewelry, And Shoes • Training DVD Dog Daycare for friendly dogs • Bag of Science Diet pet food over four months of age who Now Photos and information about lost pets or pets for adoption are available on the want to socialize, play, exercise thru agency’s website at www.leelostpets.com. and develop positive behaviors.

His life took a new direction when he felt led to guide Since the Junior League of Fort Myers’ founding in 1966, it has contributed more people to the answers to their dilemma. It is for this reason that the ministry was than one million volunteer hours and over $1 million to community projects and pro- begun. grams. Its members are career women, working mothers, stay-at-home moms, and In the book he lays out guidelines and charts to help a family or an individual dis- full-time and part-time volunteers of all ages who represent a variety of races, religions cover the appropriate amount to spend on categories such as housing, food, auto, and ethnic origins, each committed to making a difference in the local community. insurance, clothing, health, etc. for their level of income. This information is seldom taught in school or churches. Once people do their homework they can see in what areas they are overspending. For example they may realize they are paying too much for their automobile each month and they may choose to sell it. Or they may choose to keep the car but cut back in another area. CFC provides counsel and guidance but the client makes the choice. Often when CFC helps people find abundance in their budget, those who are helped think it makes good sense to give back to the ministry that aided them in find- ing that abundance. While other people donate because they believe in what we are doing and they want their community to be strong and self-sufficient. This is the way it has worked for 29 years. Anyone who would like to become a supporter of CFC would be helping hundreds of needy individuals who might be losing their homes, their cars or their jobs due to the present economic conditions. The help provided to Southwest Florida by CFC is done on a non-fee donation basis. But like every organization contributions are necessary as no ministry can oper- ate without funds. Studies have found that approximately 55 percent of those who go in for counseling are unable to make a donation of any size. Therefore, people’s sup- port helps those who are genuinely in need. CFC is a 501(c) 3 organization recognized by the IRS and all donations are tax deductible. CFC conducts seminars and budget workshops predominantly in churches but has provided training sessions in schools and businesses as well. Churches have experi- enced increases in their offerings – for example, the Cape Coral church that had an increase in weekly donations of 47 percent in the three months following the CFC seminar. Mahlon would welcome the opportunity to speak to your congregation. CFC is located in downtown Fort Myers at 2267 First Street, Unit 15 in the Arcade Theater building. It is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Call 337-2122 to schedule an appointment.

In April 2011, the WCIND board members unanimously approved $57,500 for the enhanced Marvelous Manatees Exhibit; the Lee County Board of Commissioners approved the grant at a recent meeting. The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge acquired the manatee skeleton a couple of years ago. Work will begin in October on the exhibit, which will include suspended models of a life-sized manatee and her calf, inter- pretive signage, and a number of hands-on activities includ- ing a CSI-type forensic area similar to what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses. Charitable gifts to DDWS from the McCabe and Vanderbilt families made it possible to have the skeleton of a local manatee articulated and installed. The grant from the WCIND will significantly upgrade the exhibit, which will be accessible free of charge to Education Center visitors. “Our mission at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge is conservation, wildlife and habitat protection, research, and education” said Refuge Manager Paul Tritaik. “Education-wise, this exhibit will teach the tens of thousands visitors each year to the Education Center about anatomy, An artist’s rendering of the Marvelous Manatees exhibit, which will open next spring in the refuge’s free Education bones, and specimen study, as well as issues facing the sur- Center vival of the manatee as a species.” National Wildlife Refuge’s mission of conservation, wildlife and habitat protection, “People will learn about the manatee, fall in love with the special creature and want research, and public education through charitable donations and Refuge Nature Shop to protect it,” said DDWS Executive Director Birgie Vertesch. “This is very exciting, proceeds. and we are honored the WCIND chose to support this important conservation proj- To support DDWS and the refuge with a tax-deductible gift, visit www.dingdarling- ect.” society.org or contact Birgie Vertesch at 292-0566, 472-1100 ext. 4, or director@ As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, DDWS works to support J.N. “Ding” Darling dingdarlingsociety.org.
