For Immediate Release: April 15, 2014
Donations Sought For New Gulfport Library LGBTQ Collection
Contact: Daniel Hodge; (727) 366-4086; dan@igc.org
GULFPORT, FLORIDA: The non-profit Circle of Friends of the Gulfport Public Library has announced its intention to create a new LGBTQ Resource Center at the Library, bringing together books, periodicals and other media in a special collection that will serve as a community resource for Pinellas County and Florida. The Resource Center would be the first of its kind for a public library in the State of Florida.
A subcommittee of the Circle of Friends has been formed to chart a course toward developing and maintaining the LGBTQ (Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Queer) collection. The committee is now actively seeking donations of books, CD’s, DVD’s, periodicals and other media which may be useful additions to the new collection. Donated items should be in new or gently used condition. Members of the public interested in donating materials may bring or send them to the front desk of the Gulfport Public Library (5501 28th Avenue South, Gulfport, FL 33707). Please label your donations accordingly if they are specifically intended for the LGBTQ collection. Committee members reserve the right to add donated items to their book sales inventory for fund-raising if items are not suitable for the collection.
Monetary donations are also welcome and are tax-deductible. For this purpose, please make any checks payable to the Circle of Friends of the Gulfport Public Library and note that the donation is intended for the LGBTQ Collection. For more information, please contact Committee Chairperson Roger Turner, (727) 698-7657 or RLTurner39@tampabay.rr.com.

Lost Cell Phone at “G” BAR
Its common for people to leave cell phones at clubs for one reason or another. When a phone is found the next day at bars staff try to find the owner. If the phone is not locked they call the last number called from the phone and ask if they know who this was and to please call them they have the phone.
One Sunday morning, Robert of Florida Ent. Group found a phone at G.BAR. He proceeded and called the last number and a sweet very elderly woman answered the phone whispery. She said yes she knew who the person was that had this number. It was her lovely granddaughter visiting her from up north. Robert said that the phone was found on the sidewalk in front of G. BAR and she could come & pick it up.
Then the grandmother asked, “What does the “G” stand for?” Robert quickly thought I can not tell her Gay so he said, “God.”
The grandmother said, “That is definitely a place my granddaughter would go to.”
LOL LOL you just can not make this up.

A Crazy Dream
So I have this crazy dream. Carrie & I were out taking photos of Ybor. We wanted to take a photo from the guard lookout on top of the Homeland Security building on 7th Ave in Ybor. We walk in and ask if we can go to the roof to take photos. They ask us for our drivers licenses then say OK. They point us to the elevator. Once inside we see a button on the top that says roof. Then below the ground level button there is a basement button. We look at each other surprised. Then push the basement button. The doors close then open. There in front of us are the tunnels of Ybor. There is a sign pointing one direction that says Orlando and in the other direction on that says MacDill Air Force Base. Just then a transport pulls up. That’s when I wake up. WOW was that crazy or not? Maybe, Just maybe that explains why they have a huge building on 7th Ave. Just Say n

Italian Fest Ybor Style
Again, the Annual Festa Italia Weekend in Historic Ybor City brought out another record crowd. The weather was superb with sunny skies and 80 degrees with warm breezes. The hundred of Italian restaurants & food vendors scored big with the 15,000 locals and out of town visitors. It was like being an Italian for a day even if you weren’t Italian! A combination of authentic flavors, distinct wines, cultural sounds and ambient traditions of being in Italy.
A large tour group of Italians flew over from Italy on a charter just to attend the growing popular International Festival. Including in the attendees the winners of TV’s Italian Idol (like our American Idol TV show) and a top 5 contestant from the American Idol show.
Movies, Italian teaching classes, fierce Bocce Ball competition, music festival, wine making and tasting and the Sunday all day food festival. Dressed in native attire, elementary school choirs singing in Italian, and dance groups provided great entertainment for the watching masses.
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn welcomed the large crowds sitting in chairs under tents and trees in Centennial Park.
Seeing many of our Ybor friends restaurants including, Bernini, Carne’s, Cristino’s Coal Oven Pizza, Ybor City Wine Bar, Hamburger Mary’s, Tony’s Restaurant and Stone Soup all supporting the Italian Club event.
Pics tell the story.

You Can Not make this Up.
A very close friend of ours was the owner of several high end fur boutiques up north. He sold them and moved to Florida. before you knew it he was back in the business again. This time working in department store in Ft. Lauderdale. He told us about a special customer. She was an elderly woman who would come to the department store twice a week. She would always order 1 chocolate chip cookie and have 2 cups of coffee. then she would come to the fur department and ask “What’s new?” She would always try one coat one and say “Maybe someday I will come back and buy this coat.” Everybody liked her and were very nice to her. Then one day she passed away. To the surprise of everybody she was very wealthy. She left our friend in the fur department, the servers & cosmetic department $5,000 each once a year for the rest of their lives.
