    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.

Bill Nelson (D–Fla.) Senior Senator from Florida CQ Politics in America Profile (Updated: April 4, 2013) The low-key Nelson casts himself as a left-leaning centrist and pays extra attention to topics frequently associated with his state: the space program, the military and old people. Although he can claim to be the only astronaut in Congress, Nelson isn’t a particularly flashy lawmaker. His parochial approach to his job and mild demeanor have made him a successful, if not beloved, politician. He’s not linked to the drama of leadership battles, and colleagues describe him as both nice and careful. The only Democrat currently holding statewide office in Florida, he has dispatched a string of ineffectual Republican challengers.

  • 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.
