Davis Islands Today

From the Davis Islands Chamber of Commerce

The Davis Islands Chamber of Commerce is continuing on its growth pattern with a membership increase of over 30% for the 2008 year.

During the past few months, the Chamber has co-hosted two candidates’ forums with the Davis Islands Civic Association.

Chamber members Louis Villanova, Jennifer Fadal, and Jennifer Dehnert organized the successful Oktoberween event that brought many residents to the Village business district.

Plans are underway for a fundraising effort to provide residents with a historic cookbook gift package that can be easily purchased online and sent as holiday gifts.

We are also getting ready to promote the business district with a color brochure to be ready for distribution prior to the start of the holiday season.

You can meet your Chamber members at a free social event to be held at Glass Reunions on Wednesday, Nov 12 from 6-8 PM. This event will give you the opportunity to visit the new unique glass gallery in the Village. Additionally, Irvin Lee, Director of Public Works for the City of Tampa will discuss traffic and other issues affecting Davis Islands.

I encourage you to please support all of the businesses on Davis Islands.

Bill Sharpe
Davis Islands Chamber of Commerce President
