“Stuff the Bus” is a campaign to provide school supplies for children in Pinellas County schools. Allen Craig of Ferman Auto Group and Bob Passwaters of Hooter’s brought cash contributions, while others brought backpacks, writing supplies, and the like during today’s drive. — with Dr. Grego, George Cretekos, Allen Craig and many other heroes at Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce.

At the end of the drive, the bus was full of supplies–thanks to the Clearwater Regional Chamber which helped organize the drive and to all who participated in this campaign as well as those held before classes started. — with Dr. Grego, Mayor George Cretekos, Allen Craig, Bob Passwaters, Peggy O’Shea, and Chuck Warrington.

Because of my work with the Clearwater Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, I discovered our Chapter could donate an American flag and flagpole to display outside each new Clearwater Habitat for Humanity home. U.S. Congressman Charlie Crist often donates a beautiful flag which has flown over the U.S. Capitol building, and suitable for display inside the house–forever. The flag the SAR donates is more suitable for outside, and can easily be replaced when it shows signs of wear. Here’s the Piantadosi family receiving their flag. This home was the 400th Habitat home finished and dedicated in Pinellas County.

With the reaffirmation of Clearwater’s Coast Guard City status, copies of the proclamation were presented to Captain Sandlin and CWO Randall. — with George Cretekos, Hoyt Hamilton, Doreen Caudell and Bill Jonson at Clearwater City Hall

Mayor George Cretekos, City Councilmember Hoyt Hamilton and I greeted the students, thanking the city’s Diversity Leadership Council for organizing this event for the 15th consecutive year. — with George Cretekos, Hoyt Hamilton, Laura Davis at Clearwater City Hall. 

Mayor George Cretekos, my City Councilmember colleague Bill Jonson and I visited with the staff after the ceremony. — at St. Petersburg College Clearwater Campus

It won’t be long before the new joint-use library, City of Clearwater and St. Petersburg College, Clearwater campus, is completed. Clearwater Campus Provost Stan Vittetoe welcomed the city to the campus and then participated in the signing ceremony. — with Stan Vittetoe.  City Manager Bill Horne was one of the first to “sign” the floor during this morning’s ceremony. — with William Horne. I signed my name, leaving for a future generation one of my favorite verses from the Bible, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
