    Pet Pal Animal Shelter
    Here in Pinellas County, Realtors and affiliate members of the Pinellas Realtor Organization, volunteer to support many community events and causes. We are proud to call the communities that comprise Pinellas County home.  Because we live and work here, it is important to us to support area neighborhoods–and we do so in many ways.  Here’s another example of community collaboration–the upcoming Fidelity National Title and Pet Pal Animal Shelter “Wish List” Drive....

      Make A Resolution to Visit Ft. De Soto Park
      2010 is here and we are halfway through the first month of the New Year!   Many people take the opportunity to utter (often under their breath) a commitment to a New Year’s resolution.  Getting more exercise is often at the top of the list, and there is no easier way to keep a commitment to getting more exercise than participating in any one of a number of fun activities at Ft. De Soto Park in Tierra Verde, FL. Whether you enjoy hiking, jogging, skating, kite boarding, surfing, swimmin...

        Giving Thanks . . . SPYC Christmas Boutique
        Thanksgiving is the perfect time to extend a heartfelt thank you to residents, businesses, and organizations throughout Pinellas County for their commitment to charitable events and activities during the holiday season and year-round.  Expressed in donations of time, the sharing of life experiences, and funding support, this commitment defines the meaning of volunteerism and the spirit of community giving. On Thanksgiving Day, it’s a tradition in my family to give thanks, while sta...

            SPCA Tampa Bay Pet Walk
            When the month of October nears its end, my husband, Tom, as he invariably does, asks me what I would like to have for my birthday (which is November 6). For the past three years, my answer has been the same–and it will be the same this year, too.  I will share with him that I wish to attend the annual SPCA Tampa Bay Pet Walk. My annual wish is the result of our adoption (from SPCA Tampa Bay) of a miniature Dachshund.  We renamed the spunky little dog “Moby” (although, as...

              Celebrating Labor Day
              Labor Day is just around the corner. Given that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2009, it seems appropriate, with this post, to recognize Pinellas County for its commitment to preserving our area’s natural beauty and for having a vision for the future.  This achievement is the direct result of the dedication and hard work of many people-from residents to local, state, and federal government officials. In recognition of Labor Day, it is fitting to off...

                South Gulf Beaches . . . Beauty & History
                At the southernmost tip of Pinellas County, white as sugar sandy beaches meld with Old Florida style in the historic communities of Pass-A-Grille and Tierra Verde. Beauty and history coincide in these beachfront neighborhoods.  Beaches, piers, shops, and museums, are only a few sandy footsteps away from each other. Dust the sand off your feet, slip on your flip flops, and take a leisurely stroll along Pass-A-Grille’s Historic 8th Avenue District.  Here, you can enjoy a meal at the water&...

                  Thinking about Buying Your First Home?
                  Are you thinking about buying your first home? Good thought! Now is a great time to buy, especially with an $8,000 tax credit available for those who qualify. As part of its plan to stimulate the U.S. housing market and address the economic challenges facing our nation, Congress has passed legislation that grants a tax credit of up to $8,000 to first-time home buyers. And those who qualify for the federal $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit will be able to apply for down payment assistance t...
