The Manatee Viewing Center, Tampa Electric's environmental education facility in Apollo Beach, Florida will open for the 2008/2009 season November 1.
The viewing center is a State and Federal manatee sanctuary and gathering place where manatee's gravitate when the temperatures of Tampa Bay fall below 68 degrees.
The average manatee is ten feet long and weighs approximately 1,200 pounds.
Since opening in 1986 the center has hosted more then 2.7 million visitors. It has been reported that observers have spotted more then 300 manatees at one time.
In addition to viewing the manatees there is a nature boardwalk with native Florida plants, butterfly gardens, a gift shop and the South Shore Café.
The Center, located on Big Bend Road (C R 672), Apollo Beach Florida, is handicapped accessible.

Sun City Center Realtors meet twice a month, on the second and fourth Friday, to network.
The events are hosted by local businesses such as Assisted living facilities, local builders, etc. The host provides a breakfast, which could be a light continental or a full course meal.
We usually have a guest speaker, followed by an open discussion period and a listing presentation segment where new or special listing are presented and reviewed.
Following the meeting the group caravans new listings, usually previewing 8 or more homes. In that we have a Gated Community within our community the caravan alternates between the two areas. One week the caravan will tour homes outside the gated area and the next meeting week the gated area is toured.
The meeting, which begins at 8 a m, usually last a total of two hours, one hour for the discussion segment and an additional hour for the caravan.
These meetings are viewed as a valuable business tool. Realtors interact with each other, (yes we do talk to our competition) provide useful information, and have the opportunity to preview current listings in a convenient, time efficient manner.
I once was of the opinion that the only thing that came out of meetings was people. However, I have found these get together's to be the exception. We build and promote camaraderie and that is a great thing.

Sun City Center... Florida's Premiere Retirement Community. Featuring single family, villas, fourplex & condominum homes. I work with buyers and sellers. Contact me for all of your Real Estate needs.
I retired after spending twenty five plus years in Human Resourses. Employed by a Publicly held then privately owned Company. Following my retirement I moved to Sun City Center, Florida where I currently reside.
Shortly after getting settled I started a Home Maintenance business which I worked and enjoyed for fourteen years. For the most part I concentrated on servicing the immediate Sun City Center Area. All of my business was either repeat or referral. There was never a need to advertise our services or availability.
Real Estate is a natural extention of services. Having worked for so many owners, tenants and professionals I was given extensive exposure to the community. I am committed to working with the public in an effort to assist them in the achievement of their goals, in the very broad sence, and as it relates to their Real Estate needs.
MY OBJECTIVE
For you, the seller, I will do everything with-in my means to sell your home as quickly and painlessly as possible, at a fair and competative market price.
I will work tirelessly to obtain, for you, the buyer, the best price on a home that is perfectly suited to your needs and lifestyle, not just for today, but for years to come.

I am an experienced negotiator with expert knowledge of the local market. You can count on me to always work with your interests in mind, and to represent you and your wishes to the best of my ability.

Dear Hal,
Words will never completely express my appreciation for the hours you spent helping me sell my home and finding the new one. I am so happy here, especially now that everything is settled and in place. The contractors you recommended did an outstanding job painting and updating my new home.
Who would have thought I would be able to accomplish so much in a very short time. I will always remember you fondly.
Mrs. Oakley

Harold,
I have been meaning to write you for some time to thank you for your help in marketing my home. You were a marvelous resource. Had it not been for your willingness to share your market knowledge at that time I would have sold the property for much less then I did and not known the difference. I will always be in debited to you.
Thank you again for everything,
B. G. Anderson
Hal,
We just wanted to thank you for your endurance as it pertains to the closing of our investment property there in Sun City Center. Both Kathy and I are sure, had it not been for your efforts, the closing would never have taken place.
We will be having a celebration dinner with you when we come down in the fall.
Dean & Kathy Mason
Dear Broker,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank your agent, Hal Place, and his team members for their untiring effort with regard to marketing our home. We have taken the property off the market for the time being, as we are heading north for the simmer. However, we intend to relist in the fall when we return for our winter stay.
Your agents are a credit to the community.
