THE DAVIS ISLANDS NEWSLETTER
Welcome to the September Islands View newsletter. Doesn’t it seem like things get “real” this month? The lazy days of summer are over and the slow start to the school year ended with Labor Day. Life and all of its responsibilities ramp up big time.
Take a look at the full September calendar Davis Islands has in store. There are Davis Islands Civic Association events, an islands book signing and of course Halloween in the Village to prep for.
Put on your seatbelts folks, the fall season is here!
As always, have a great September and we will see you around the Islands!

The Reading Spot
This month I changed it up a bit and am recommending a children’s book: Trooper Earl on Patrol.
Trooper Earl is a Beagle/Corgi mix who has an important job. As a first responder, Trooper Earl is responsible for protecting his people, his property and the critters who live there. He does not let his impaired front paw keep him from always performing his duty to serve.
Trooper Earl’s important mission and determination to complete it is a great message for children of all ages! Follow Trooper Earl on Facebook at facebook.com/TrooperEarlOnPatrol
DI Civic Association Monthly Meeting
The next meeting of the DI Civic Association will be held Tuesday September 3rd at the Sandra Freedman Tennis Complex, starting at 7pm.

Each month the City of Tampa publishes these filings for all City of Tampa residents, it is called the C.A.R.E. S Newsletter. Details on the filings can be found by logging into the City of Tampa Online Portal This months requests are as follows
