Starting last Sunday being a guest candidate speaker at MCC TAMPA. A very nice social followed the service. Politics, Equality and Diversity all go hand in hand! Everyone has been coming down with the “cold bug” of the season. I am no exception.

 

 I was going to the MLK Breakfast early Monday but I had a fever and coughed all night. A busy scheduled week ahead, a cold rain outside, and I not up to par, so I rested and read all day Monday. Tuesday, the monthly Barrio Latino Commission was canceled because of many being sick. A great day to get ready for the busy week.

 

Wednesday, D Stephen Moss held a Meet & Greet Carrie West One on One Party at One Laurel Place. Over 60 residents attended the reception and I was grateful for insight on the residents isues living in Tampa’s downtown area. The Bricks held a mixer for the Ybor Chamber and I was greeted by many of the local business owners and members. We all want a better Tampa and historic Ybor City!

 

 Friday was the Tiger Bay Club Luncheon with all the candidates running in Tampa City Council Districts 4, 5 and 7. You can image the usual shenanigans that the civic minded members usually pull on the running candidates but this event at Maestro’s at the Straz Performing Art Center was very tame! I feel the change in Tampa’s newly elected council and mayor are going to be a major directional transformation of present Mayor Pam Iorio’s years as Tampa’s leadership. Again all for the positive!!!
