Scraporium Scrapbook Store
in Lutz is Expanding!
 
 
Denise Hopkinson started her small scrap-booking store in 1998 when scrapbooking was just starting to take off. Life was great in the small 800 square foot shop where Mrs. Grossman and Frances Meyer reigned queens and the toughest option was whether to get an 8 1/2x11 or 12x12 album! She quickly outgrew that space, moved across from the Publix at the Florida Ave/Nebraska apex (on the Fla Ave side) and has taken...Read More: advantage of every single space she has in her shop to display a huge variety of merchandise.

Letters from our Soldiers
 via Treats for Troops
www.TreatsForTroops.Info
Treats for Troops is a local non profit charity that sends much needed supplies to our troops in remote fighting areas. Karin King and her husband started Treats for Troops when Karin decided to begin baking cookies for our troops. She quickly received thank yous for the home baked goods as well as requests for much needed supplies. They currently send hundreds of boxes of basic items to our brave men and women in some of the most isolated areas in the regions we are currently deployed in. Karin still bakes up her homemade cookies however and during the holidays recruits local community members to help bake and sends a massive amount to those who wont be home for the holidays. To find out ALL about how you can support Karin and her efforts, visit her website at www.treatsfortroops.info Below are some of the letters she has received!
 
WOW!!! Thx so much. Big smiles all around!! We received the packages today and man, we had a GREAT time divvying up all the cookies and goodies. The posters were a huge hit too. They now adorn our MWR room and various living spaces. Thx so much. You obviously "know" us and our situation over here away from "the world" and all that we love and enjoy. The cookies were all fantastic! The home made ones were great and several of the guys far more enjoyed the home made over the others. Again, WOW! Thx very, very much for the goodies. We instantly called for a movie night with all our treats!! Needless to say, our movie night was like none other in such a very long time. Very awesome, very good, very kind. Please thank all who were involved and who pitched in for our care package! I feel as though I just didn't say enough!!! I forgot to thank you for the essential items and the mardi gras beads were a neat, yet hilarioius addition to our decorations. Oh, THANKS very much for the awesome coffee!!! And the very nice letters and notes from families and young ones like Morgan from Tampa who prays for us with his parents (and his dog!! lol). Natalie wrote us a nice note on an amazingly beautiful card, and a heartfelt thanks to all the other folks who wrote us nice words of encouragement and thoughtfulness.
How wonderful, truly great it is to receive greetings and well wishes from you, Jim and our fellow countrymen. The little ones bring tears to our eyes as each of us think of our own children we leave home while we fight world evil. Thanks so very much to the McGay family, Hisey Family, Marilyn, Jasmine, Linda Wallace, Jamie and Gayle from Tampa. Their prayers, appreciation for our service and well wishes bring smiles to our hearts and have been well received. We posted their cards and letters around our Morale Welfare and Recreation room. Please tell them we love them and because we do, we gladly place our strength, blood, and lives in harms way to protect our people and way of life! It is truly a valiant, honorable America we live in today and may God bless us all in our cause for freedom and in our effort in putting down the evil we continue to fight.
Thanks so much for the wonderful goodies, the great coffee and well wishes!!! It was all so very well received. Your all very special! We are honored to fight for you and our great nations cause for freedom and to worship our mindful and loving God in the manner in which we believe to be true. And that is what it's all about! Your friend and soldier at the very front,

MSG Craig C. Clark, Afghanistan
Take care now.

 
I recently received a care package with your homemade cookies included. Thank you...it was so nice to get such delicious treats. Please know that your commitment to support the troops is very much appreciated! In addition to your homemade treats, every care package includes a healthy amount of 'motivation' and 'encouragement' from home. Thank you very much for your sacrifices to make this possible!

Dear Karin and the rest at "Treats For Troops"
I wanted to send a big thank you from myself and the rest of the platoon. I am pleased to know that there are still people like yourself that appreciate what we do but I can not express how much we appreciate your support. The silly string that was sent was used to search for trip wires however, a lot of it was also used to my squad leaders birthday. MUCH NEEDED FUN.
thank you again and keep in touch

Connections Job Development
Program Graduates

 On February 23, Connections 'graduated' the first class to complete a four-part customer service training. Led by volunteer business coach, Joseph Trangata, a nationally-recognized business development and training professional, the group of Connections job seekers came together to improve their customer service skills and learn new ones. 

Participant Rich R. reports, "This was a great class! Joe was awesome and even though I'm a professional with years of experience, I learned new ways of interacting with customers, both internal and external." 

Retiring last summer but unable to ‘sit still’, Joe Trangata is a much in demand consultant to large corporations statewide.  “When we asked companies what it is they really need in the way of training, the overwhelming majority indicated customer service training for their employees,” said Trangata.  As he explained, there is a disconnect between what employees are trained to do, skills related to their jobs, and their ability to deliver consistent, quality customer service.  Many employers have had to tighten budgets so much and cut their HR training budgets.  Customer service training gets overlooked and it is a key piece that can make or break a company, regardless of size.  

 “Connections was able to offer this high-caliber class because Joe volunteered his time and materials; he normally commands a price way beyond what we, or many area small businesses could invest in”, stated Judith Tilton, Connections Executive Director.  “We are grateful for his services and feel honored that our clients are able to work with him at no charge.”   Tilton reports that another class will be offered next month and area employers will be have the chance to enroll employees at a nominal contribution to the non-profit.   The job seekers who completed the 8-hr. training now have one more tool to set them apart from the competition.  
If you want to become a Customer Service Superstar or jump start your job search, start with Connections Orientation program, which is offered twice weekly. Call Connections at 727-849-7424 to register. Cost is FREE!

Connections Job Development Program, based in New Port Richey since 1991, assists unemployed and under-employed adults by helping them gain skills necessary to conduct a successful job search and make a connection with area employers.  A 501(c)3 non-profit, all services are provided to employers and job seekers at no charge.  Connections receives funding from the State of Florida and United Way of Pasco, in addition to generous donations from clubs and organizations, churches and individuals.  Connections also operates the Good Connections Thrift Shoppe, a ‘boutique’ resale store at 6636 US HWY 19 in New Port Richey (just north of Main Street).  Good Connections is open Monday – Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM; donations are accepted daily. For information about Connections, call the office Monday through Thursday at 727/849-4724 or visit www.connectionsjobdevelopment.org

Gulfside Regional Hospice
Mending Hearts Kids Program Plant a Healing Garden
The children who attend Gulfside Regional Hospice’s bereavement support groups plant flowers on March 8 in the Mending Hearts Healing Garden
  1. Kerstyn is ready to plant flowers in memory of her loved one March 8 at Gulfside Regional Hospice’s Bereavement Center.
Children who attend Gulfside’s Mending Hearts Kids’ support groups celebrated the changing of the seasons by planting flowers at Gulfside’s Bereavement Center in the Children’s Healing Garden on March 8.
           “The children plant in the garden seasonally,” said Sonia Quinones, Gulfside’s director of bereavement and volunteers. “During the planting, we explain the circle of life – that all that is born has a lifetime, and at the end of that lifetime, people, animals and flowers die.”John Lamm, from Home Depot in Port Richey, has been involved with this project for the last five years. Home Depot provides the flowers and mulch and Lamm helps the children with planting the flowers in the garden. “Planting of the flowers gives the bereavement counselors an opportunity to talk about death and new beginnings,” said Quinones. “Everything has a beginning and an end – the flowers represent a new beginning. Once the seasons change, the memories of the flowers  and our loved ones will still be in our minds and hearts.” After the planting of the garden, the children had a pizza party and ice cream. All received a special stuffed animal to commemorate the experience.
The mission of Gulfside Regional Hospice is to provide compassionate, quality care to individuals and their loved ones as they face life-limiting illnesses. All bereavement services are provided free of charge to Pasco County residents regardless of previous participation with hospice, and includes support groups, the Mending Hearts Kids’ Program and individual counseling. For more information about Gulfside Regional Hospice bereavement services, call (727) 845-5707 or visit http://www.GRHospice.org.

Buy Now? Sell Now?
Tips from Area Realtors

If you are one of the MANY buyers sitting on the fence waiting for values to go down even further, the link below is a must read. Fact is, if interest rates go up even just half a point, any potential gain in lower property values will be eaten up by higher payments. A payment increase of just $50 a month will cost you an additional $78,000 over the life of the loan. Now, consider what will happen if we lose Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as this article suggests we might. This could lead to changes that will mean more expensive mortgages, with higher fees and, probably, higher interest rates, larger down payments and, in the near term, fewer lenders to choose from. This unfortunately doesn't only affect buyers, but sellers as well. Tougher and more expensive mortgages will lead to fewer homes selling which will increase supply in a market in which there is already an abundance of inventory. More supply leads to lower prices.The bottom line is if you are buying, buy now and if you are selling, now is the time because it will more than likely be much tougher to sell in the future.

Wesley Chapel Republican Club Meeting
Welcomes Guest Speaker Mike Wells

The Wesley Chapel Republican Club was pleased to have Pasco County Property Appraiser Mike Wells as their Guest Speaker this month. Wells explained the functions of his office and the challenges Pasco County faces from the whiplash of our boom-bust economy. In 1997 Pasco County had eight billion dollars in taxable income and in 2007, ten short years that number had increased to 30 billion dollars. Last year that number had decreased to 20 billion dollars and Wells predicted it would bottom out to 2004 levels of 17.5 billion which will continue the pressure for cutbacks and layoffs in our overburdened County operations and School system. They also had a special presentation in honor of Past President Peter Hanzel. Contact Mike Moore at wcrepublican@att.net for more information or call 813-777-6171. Their meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month.

 Habitat for Humanity
 in Land O'Lakes
Habitat for Humanity of East & Central Pasco celebrated the completion of construction on a home, in Land O' Lakes at a dedication ceremony Saturday, March 12, 2011 on Spokane Road. The new homeowner, Kristi Bourne, tearfully thanked all those who worked so hard to help her reach this goal. A group of students from Penn State traveled here to work on Habitat homes during their Spring Break. They helped put the finishing touches on this home and were present for the dedication.
Pastor - Reverend Dr. David Brockhoff of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church gave the invocation. Jeanie Germain Habitat Board Chair and John Finnerty, Habitat executive director led the program. After explaining that the Bourne family had performed 400 sweat equity hours working on their home and the homes of others as a requirement for becoming Habitat homeowners, Anna Carrillo, a habitat homeowner introduced Kristi Bourne and helped with the presentation of symbolic gifts and a family Bible. East Pasco Quilters presented Kristi with a beautiful heirloom quality quilt. Chris Hensley, construction supervisor, presented the family with the key to their new home.
At the end of the ceremony, the Bourne family cut the ribbon that that hung across the doorway and invited supporters inside for a tour of the home. Inside the home were housewarming gifts donated by the Tampa Bay Tootsies.
Through donations of money and materials and volunteer labor, Habitat for Humanity of East & Central Pasco was able to build the home and sell it at an affordable price. The Bourne family purchased the home with a no-profit zero interest loan, and their monthly mortgage payments will be used to build more Habitat houses.
Habitat has an important event coming up, National Women Build Week April 30 - May 8 (Mother's day). National Women Build Week challenges women to devote at least one day to the effort to eliminate poverty housing. Women make a difference in their communities by building homes and raising awareness of local housing needs.
The Women Build program empowers women to build Habitat for Humanity homes, enabling them to positively impact the lives of children by making home ownership a present reality for families. Women Build is not about excluding men; it's about including women. Please register and join our local Women Build visit www.habitatpasco.org and look for the "Women Build" tab.

Eleven year old Trinity Carrillo receives
President's Volunteer Service Award
 
Trinity Carrillo was caught by surprise at his school when Kaci Wubbena, Crystal Paoloemilio, and Stephanie Black from Habitat for Humanity of East & Central Pasco arrived during morning announcements. Trinity was even more surprised when they presented him with the President's Volunteer Service Award, a letter from President Obama, and a gold pin with The White House logo. President Obama's letter congratulated Carrillo and thanked him for helping to address the most pressing needs in his community and our country."Trinity Carrillo has completed more than 200 volunteer hours with Habitat for Humanity in the last 6 months and continues to be an ambassador for the non-profit charity. Habitat wrote to the White House and completed the necessary paperwork for Trinity to receive the award" said Stephanie Black, director of development and public relations. Trinity's mother Anna Carrillo attended a Habitat Application Workshop at Lacoochee Elementary School in September 2010 and applied to purchase a Habitat home. The Carrillo's bought a Habitat home in February 2011 with a zero-interest mortgage. Anna and Trinity started volunteering with Habitat in October and haven't stopped. Trinity has volunteered at the Dade City ReStore, spoken at community meetings, and at a Habitat fundraiser. Trinity welcomes other volunteers, spreads the word about the Habitat program, and tells others what having a decent home means to him. Trinity also worked on his own Habitat home. "Trinity Carrillo is a great advocate for Habitat for Humanity of East & Central Pasco. I wish we had 100 more just like him" said Black.

Production Credits from Oliver
View the video for this event click:
 

     Academy at the Lakes’ 12th annual production, Oliver! The Musical was a major hit at the Center for the Performing Arts at Wesley Chapel High School. A production company with over 200 students from  kindergarten to seniors wowed the pack house with their singing and acting abilities.

     Faculty, students and parents joined forces to create the stage, and the hand made costumes. The orchestral music was directed by Mark Heller and Katherine Vargas. The production was overseen by director Chris Holcom (Academy faculty, Jobsite Theater actor-director) and producers Morse and Gary Compton.

     Oliver! The musical is based on Charles Dickens novel "Oliver Twist," The story follows little Oliver, an orphan and his misadventures in 18th Century England. As the story begins, young Oliver (senior Ali Buckman) is seen working at an orphanage. Following another disappointing, yet predictable, evening meal of gruel, the orphans are still very hungry. Oliver's journey outside of the orphanage begins when he has the audacity to ask for more. This error in judgment leads to Mr. Bumble and the Widow Corney (Cody Diaz and Alexis Setteducato) taking him out into the street and selling him to the local undertaker, Mr. Sowerberry (Conor Zhang). "Unfortunately, Oliver finds his new home as hostile as the last, and he makes the desperate decision to run away. He eventually makes his way to London where he meets The Artful Dodger (Sara Dobish) who is eager to introduce him to a new and exciting life as part of Fagin's (Jason Pitcairn) gang. The next day, he meets Nancy (Shannon O'Donnell), who shows him some motherly affection and tries to protect him." Photos and videos of this event by Anthony V. Masella Jr of OurtownFLA.com

Rep. Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel 
Official Speaker Designate of Florida
House Republicans met Monday to honor Rep. Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, tabbing him officially as speaker designate who will wield the gavel before the Florida House when the 2012 elections end.
As expected, Weatherford was elected without opposition from the Republican caucus. Speaking from the well of the House, Weatherford praised “servant leadership” and said he will try to be a “servant leader” in his time as speaker. Weatherford praised “the promise of Florida” and, while he avoided talking about specific policy, the future speaker touched on his principles. “Our rights come from God, not from government,” said the future speaker, taking aim at legalized abortion.
“All life is precious and worthy of our respect. We can never call ourselves a truly just society as long as we fail to recognize the rights of the unborn.”
