Thank-You to the City Senior Center, for coordinating the event. Thank you to the city crew for the set up and clean up. Thank you to Parks security and wild life officers. Thanks to BJ Trophy’s for the trophy’s and many sponsors. It is always a great day when you can get people out in the park for a picnic and a morning of fishing. A good time was had by all.
This month’s Networking Luncheon was held at Harbor Hills. Several speakers were scheduled. The event was well attended. The food was good, I would describe it as a Salad Bar Buffet. There was plenty to eat. It was a great success. Food was good, met new people, met some business people I have not seen in a while, It was a good day!
Watch for it next month and attend. Call the Chamber 352-753-6029 for reservations.

Publishers note Hi Governor DeSantis
Thanks for forwarding my letter to the Environmental Turnpike Authority. Obviously you did not read my letter because you forwarded to the Problem instead of analyzing it.…The Florida Turnpike Authority, I believe that the Turnpike is done. We should not be paying an authority that needs to take free peoples land to keep them working. We have rights Governor Stick up for us. If you read my first letter you would realize people moved here with a dream. Residents are selling their homes so they don’t get into a confrontation with people they send out to talk to you. Tell them to get off your land!
They are trespassers! They had to talk to my lawyer to make an appointment to talk to me about coming on my land. Do you realize the Sabal Trail Gasoline has the same combination to the lock’s on gates they put up on every land owners property from Alabama to Orlando. I have caught several strangers on my land. I don’t expect anything different from these Turnpike people. Oh and by the way they tell story’s.

We were very lucky this week. I ate out three times once at Carrabas all you can eat soup & salad $7.99. it was all good the salad was nicely done and I had one of each of the soups they were very good. Especially the sausage lentil soup.
The next day I took my wife to Olive Garden and of course had the soup and salad. I tried two soup both were very good. I would say they were both restaurants equally as good. Bread and salad were excellent.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody is calling on U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to terminate the creation of a disinformation board that attacks Americans’ First Amendment rights. Along with 18 other attorneys general, Attorney General Moody argues that the proposed Disinformation Governance Board will hurt the constitutional freedom to speak freely, debate and disagree with the government—freedoms that state attorneys general are responsible for defending.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “President Biden is attempting to confuse and distort legitimate criticism and the perspective of American citizens. This authoritarian maneuver could be straight out of the novel 1984 and should frighten Americans of all political persuasions.” Continue reading
