It has been a fun filled week on the GO WEST Campaign road! Meeting so many new and interesting people all with one thing in common…. We all are so proud & love our home, Tampa! Here are some of the great highlights. The week started out with a Sunday Gospel Brunch at Hamburger Mary’s in Ybor City. WOW could those ladies sing & stomp!   I Proudly took my oath in the City of Tampa Clerks Office & was re-sworn in as a Commissioner for the Barrio Latino Commission at Tampa City Hall.  Did an early morning candidate breakfast forum for the Tampa Downtown Partnership. The event was hosted by Holland & Knight in their meeting room on the 42nd floor of the Regions Bank building. What a view of Tampa!  Over at the CTTV Studios we taped a live forum for the League of Women Voters. 4 neighborhoods came together & hosted a forum at the Children’s Board in Ybor. Those neighborhoods included Ybor City, East Ybor City, V.M. Ybor &  Palmetto Beach. At Gaspar’s Grotto I attended the day long marathon 98 ROCK Fundraiser for the families of slain St. Petersburg Police Officers Thomas Baitinger & Jeff Yaslowitz, who were both killed while in the line of public service duty. The community all came out for this great cause.  A special Thank You to SE Seminole Civic Association & Hosts Ray & Gina for “A Night in Italy” Porch Party. Great Cooks, Great Conversation & Great People!!! I was honored to be invited to speak at CLUB MANILLA TAMPA. The club has gone thru many renovations including some very hi tech items I had never seen before. It was also a chance to meet up with old friends and meet 100?s of new community leaders and business owners. The out pour of support at CLUB MANILLA was fantastic THANK YOU!!!  Later that night I tried to sneak into Steam Fridays for my friend, Bryan Khan Birthday Celebration. There were many dozens of “GO WEST” supporters there. All this plus with the help of volunteers, we have knocked on over 1,600 homes in the district, 100+ yard signs went out to new homes & over 1,000+ buttons were passed out!!!  What a Great Community to Call HOME!!!
