I can't understand why people say we don't have the change of seasons down here in SW Florida. Of course we do! We can tell what season it is by our faucets. If there is lukewarm water coming out of the spigot then it's summer, cold water means it must be winter. I guess it must be winter now...
Congratulations to Boots and Earl Tolles for receiving the ‘Tabor Award' as the Cape Coral Community Foundation "2009 Philanthropist of the Year"!
Cape Coral is blessed with many wonderful humanitarians but this 2009 honor could not have gone to a better choice. Boots and Earl will remain true role models for years to come....

The Veterans Mid-Point Memorial Park located at Four Mile Cove Eco Park is another fabulous tribute to the men and women who have serviced to keep our country free.
My heart still sputters when I hear the national anthem....and a tear always forms for the men and women who have sacrificed.
It's FINALLY here....what we have been waiting for....

Are you "annoying"? Ask your friends...
There is so much talk about social media these days and everyone is jumping in. It's fun, it's entertaining, it's addicting....but be careful......
Soliciting business through social media can hurt you and your business if not done correctly. Remember, it's called social media not business media.
How about if I give you an example? Henry the Hay Hacker updates his Facebook wall daily. Great so far, right? But all of his updates just promote his business..... "I can hack hay faster than anyone".... "Get your Hay Hacking Here"...."I am the best Hay Hacker in Town"......"Visit my Hay Hacking store today".....
BORING!!! With a capital B_O_R_I_N_G !!!!
His Facebook ‘friends' will no doubt get very bored and possibly annoyed with this type of constant ‘in your face' solicitation. Note: If this is the type of media you want to do then check out a Facebook ‘Fan Page'. This is a business related page that allows you to update info, news, ideas, blogs, links, advertising....anything and everything about your business.
So the question is...how can I solicit business from my friends, family, etc... on my regular Facebook page without turning people off?
Easy.....
How about if Henry the Hay Hacker updated his page this way.....
"Whew...it's going to be a hot day for hacking hay...but ‘hay' someone has got to do it....ha-ha!"
"The hay was so high in the field today that I couldn't see over it"
"Darn, the hay hacker machine broke today...do you know how much a button for that darn machine costs?"
"One more hour of hay hacking and I am off to the beach"
Sound better? More fun and interesting? I mean, how boring must hay hacking be (sorry to all those hay hackers out there) but now Henry has made it more entertaining...makes you kind of want to hear what he has to say next....BINGO!! Henry's having fun connecting with all of his friends, family, and colleagues AND at the same time he is reminding all of them that he is the hardest working and best Hay Hacker there is.
So go out there and have fun. Be yourself...just tell your Facebook contacts what it's like being you!
