I was privileged to be invited to attend the Annual Southwest Florida Golf Charities Gifting Event for 2008. It was hosted again by Irv Sherwood and Mike Ward of Erin’s Isle. The underlying theme was “It’s nice to do nice things for nice people". The event was spectacular, and these guys poured their heart and soul into the planning.

Dream taking shape as historical society breaks ground for museum

Leslie Williams, NDN staff writer quotes Donna Fiala:

If I had written the script for today, I would have given you all shovels, and we would have had the land cleared before it was all said and done," Collier County Commissioner Donna Fiala joked with the crowd. She paid homage to the Marco Island Historical Society, which she said he has been a huge fan of since the day several members walked into her office requesting just $25,000 toward the museum's construction. Instead, they got a $3.4 million piece of land from the county on which to build the facility.


The Naples Daily News writes Sunday, March 16, 2008 in
"New Chapter in Marco's History" about the ground breaking ceremony on Saturday March 15, 2008:

When, four years ago, a handful of members from the Marco Island Historical Society approached Fiala to ask for $25,000 from tourist tax collections, she helped find something infinitely more significant. The land adjacent to the library on S. Heathwood Drive, valued at about $3.4 million, was pledged to the project at the start.

Invitation to Town Hall Meeting, Thursday March 6th, 2008

Hi All,
      I received this from a friend who was inviting his community to the Town Hall Meeting, and I thought maybe I could ask each of you to send this invitation to friends who live in East Naples, not necessarily who live in District 1, to come to the Town Hall meeting as well.  I always love to show the county staff how much the people in East Naples care about what goes on in their community.
