Yep, it’s that time of year again, when we need to brush-up on the basics of hurricane management and get ourselves completely prepared, in the hopes of never needing to ever use our brushed-up “hurricane skills”.
Well, as with every year, the City of Sanibel puts together their annual “City Hurricane Plan” and this year the public meeting will be held at the Big Arts Center on Dunlop Road on Wednesday, June 1st, from 1pm-3pm.
There are many things on the table to discuss such as the predictions for the upcoming 2011 Hurricane Season, Family Hurricane Planning, City of Sanibel Building codes and much, much more! Everyone is welcome!
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then we definitely need to talk!
Social Media is taking over the world (literally!) and is fast becoming the fabric for which, not only personal relationships, but business relationships, are developed, sustained and grown…
The video below is pretty shocking in the statistics that are presented, but I thought it was an incredible summary of what’s going on in the world today.
So? Are you at least dipping your toes in the water of this new “social landscape”, or are you going to be stubborn and be left in the “cyberbial dust”?
Thoughts? Comments? Please click the “Read More” button below after watching the video and enter your comments there… I can’t wait to hear them!
Have a great week,
Sandy and Rob
p.s. Home Sales are picking up… stop by and see us at the office!
Well, today I have a real treat for you… my very own personal hair stylist for YEEEARS, Little Joe Micale, has always been a “celebrity” to me, but this weekend on Saturday, April 2nd, you will find him signing his own best-selling book, “Confessions of a Hollywood Hair Stylist”, at Barnes and Noble at 13751 S. Tamiami Trail in Fort Myers beginning at 1 p.m.
This is so exciting!
Little Joe has some really great stories about all of the household movie star names that we know and love… He has had huge Hollywood personalities in his salon chair giving them some of the best hair cuts of their careers (according to them!) and has signed photos all over the walls of his busy Ft. Myers salon, known as “Beverly Hills Hair Design”, to prove it.
His salon’s actual address is 16681 McGregor Blvd. (Kingston Square) in South Fort Myers, but you can also call Little Joe for an appointment at 395-3116 and be sure that you tell him I sent you! I promise you will NOT be disappointed, plus you’ll be thoroughly entertained in the process. Yes, you will thank me later!
Also, if you happen to be heading over to Ft. Myers tomorrow, please be sure to stop by Barnes and Noble and see Little Joe speak about some of his most entertaining experiences, as well as be available to sign his book for you! It’s an easy and fun read, so don’t miss out!
Yes, in just one week, the Second Annual Uncorked Winter Wine Festival will take place!
Naturally, the proceeds are for a great cause and therefore, we thank the Sanibel-Captiva Optimist Club for their efforts once again this year in helping to fund children’s cancer treatment, as well as donating children’s educational scholarships.
Everything is set to begin Thursday, Feb. 24 from 5 to 9 p.m. at Lily & Co. Jewelers (across Tarpon Bay Road from Bailey’s General Store). Obviously, there will be wonderful wines to taste, as well as cooking demonstrations, live music and a silent auction that among other prizes will include a 4-person aircraft tour of the islands.
Tickets are $30 per person ($25 for the designated driver).
What was started years ago by our beloved Sam Bailey, who passed away last year, has been re-ignited and is more family friendly than ever!
Of course, we are talking about the Annual Sanibel-Captiva Chamber Community Fair and Retail Expo… the best local business networking event of the year.
This Sunday for 3 hours from 11am to 2pm at the Sanibel Community House at 2173 Periwinkle Way, there will be more than 60 retail vendors, wine tasting, a bounce house and lots of activities for the kids, as well as great food and an emcee + DJ! Bailey’s General Store will be providing the free food and drinks and we thank them!!
This is going to be a great event that you will not want to miss!
Local Businesses, as well as many non-profits, always attend and help spread their success around the island.
Be sure to stop by midday to support our island’s livelihood and show that you are an active member of this community!
The SanCap One Source Realty Team has invested in a brand spankin’ new VAN called “Island Home Adventures”, where we take prospective home buyers around to show them the island and the different areas in route to scoping out their new home on Sanibel or Captiva!
This is so exciting and we are having so much fun in seeing our customers’ faces and hearing their awesome feedback after gliding through Sanibel and Captiva in our smooth new wheels!
So, if you happen to see us driving by, be sure to honk and give us a wave, so that we know that you are an avid reader of our blog and that you know the latest and greatest of what’s happening on Sanibel and Captiva… :)
Yikes… Time flies!
