Davis Islands Civic Association News

Dear Island Neighbors:

All Davis Islands residents are invited to the Davis Islands Civic Association Annual Meeting & Celebration scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, from 7 to 9 pm at the Davis Islands Garden Club, 81 Columbia Drive. Doors open at 6:30 pm.

We are very pleased to report that the South Davis Trail is getting much closer to reality. The highlight of the meeting will be a presentation by Ms. Laurie Potier- Brown, from the City Parks & Recreation Department, on the concept layout for the South Davis Trail. The design consultants will be present to answer questions, and they will display drawings. This is an opportunity to ask questions and to comment. So, if you live near the proposed trail, or plan to use it, and you would like to have input, please plan to attend. It is very exciting that the plans for the South Davis Trail have advanced to this phase and we thank the Parks and Recreation Department for making this special presentation.

Also at the Annual Meeting, we have invited downtown museums with capital projects underway to provide displays and information for us, a little “mini-museum walk,” so that we can see the new plans. We will also be honoring local residents and outgoing board members for community service, including a special recognition to our Young Islanders for their outstanding work. Refreshments will be served and children are welcome.

I want to especially thank the following outgoing board members: Rudy Fernandez, past president and past Parks Committee Chair who is moving off the Islands; Bobby Bobo; Vince Palori; past president Henry Gill; and, long-serving treasurer Pat Wolfe, for their contributions to Davis Islands for many years. We welcome new board member S. Kristopher Kral, who has been elected to fill the vacancy created by Rudy Fernandez’s move.

If you have questions, or need information about the annual meeting, please email us at davisislandscivic@gmail.com or call me at 813-259-9744. Meeting information will be posted at www.davisislandscivic.com as well as in our Fall Newsletter.

Sincerely,

Lisa K. DeVitto, President
