Davis Islands Newsletter January 2017

THE DAVIS ISLANDS VIEW NEWSLETTER

Welcome to the January issue of the Islands View newsletter and HAPPY NEW YEAR! This past year has flown by, and I for one am excited about 2017. One of my goals this year is to stay even more interconnected with the Islands community, to this end I encourage you to submit to me any ideas or issues you think should be addressed in our community. I will work to connect these to the rest of the Islands, as well as with the best individuals both locally and at the City of Tampa who can potentially handle them. As always have a great month and we will see you around the Islands.
