DI Civic Association Annual Meeting

All Davis Islands residents are invited to attend the Davis Islands Civic Association’s Annual Meeting on November 14th starting at 6:30pm (DI Garden Club). As in years past this is an opportunity to learn about next year’s activities, events and initiatives. Also it is a great chance to socialize with fellow neighbors.

Fantastic Halloween in the Village Turnout 2017!

This years Halloween in the Village was a huge success, with more families and dogs than ever before.
First, a big shout out to Jenn Fadal of Wag Natural Pet Market for creating and organizing this event each year.  This was the 8th Annual event and the number of participants continue to increase.
Second, a special thank you to PROforma or all of the fantastic goody bags with so much swag.  Five-hundred goody bags were passed out with tons of toys and treats for the kids. And thank you to Fountain Mediterranean who graciously welcomes all kids, parents and dogs to take over their stage and patio that day.
Third, this event would not have been possible without the continued sponsorship of Islands and off-Islands businesses.

Book of the Month

As a young child and teenager I did not like to read and would avoid at all costs.  That has changed as I became an adult and now have a child of my own.  Each month I work to read 2 to 3 books and I thought it would be fun to pass what is on my bookself or in most cases my iPad.  This past month’s book is “Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable” written by Tim Grover.  Tim is the training and conditioning coach for basketball greats like Michael Jordan, Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant.  This book really captures the essence of what is necessary to truly be at an elite level in anything you do and in particular the mental attitude.  It is a quick read and many of his example with his professional athletes are entertaining.
I am always seeking new books to read so if you have a favorite let me know!
