Young Islanders March in 2008 Children’s Gasparilla Parade

The Young Islanders of Davis Islands participated in the shortened version of the Children’s Gasparilla Parade on January 19, 2008. Sporting the popular Young Islanders shirts and lots of fun pirate garb, the Young Islanders joined with the Crewe of Bobbie C. Davis and their float in the parade. A mighty time was had by all! A big thank you goes out to the Crewe of Bobbie C. Davis for hosting the Young Islanders again this year. Look for this fun event next year.

Davis Islands Easter Egg Hunt
Get ready for the Annual Davis Islands Easter Egg Hunt, coming in March 2008! Please start saving your leftover plastic Easter Eggs that you have hidden away from last year. (We know you have them!) We will use these at our Egg Stuffing Party where we prepare the eggs for the hunt. Eggs can be dropped off at D.I. Body & Boutique. Watch for details coming soon on the Egg Stuffing Party, and of course the Easter Egg Hunt.

Get Your Traffic Safety Sticker!
The requests are still coming in! Be sure to get your white traffic safety stickers for your trash bins, before we run out! The Young Islanders have purchased these stickers with grant money from Hillsborough County. The goal is to remind D.I. residents and visitors so slow down to a safe speed when travelling around the islands. Many of you have inquired on how to get your own traffic safety stickers or how to obtain a yard sign. Please e-mail your request to youngislanders[at]yahoo.com. At this time, supplies are available for Davis Islands’ residents only on a first come first serve basis.

The Young Islanders wish to thank Hillsborough County Neighborhood Relations and the Hillsborough County Children’s Board for the grant monies used to fund this important initiative.
