Brunch Attendees Note

March Angel's Newsletter

Good Morning Angel, Brunch Bunch Fashion Show Attendees.

WOW, we are only a day away from our much-anticipated Angel Fashion Show! It is going to be a huge success and a sold-out event! PLEASE don’t let a little bit of rain scare you away from attending. As many of you know, the St Pete Yacht Club has covered parking, so you won’t have to worry about getting wet. In checking all the weather resources, it looks like today is the worst of it and there is a break around 11 am. Please have patience with the valet service in getting everyone parked.

Our event is going to be so much fun! For those of you that have invited guests, please contact them, and let the know about the covered parking. We don’t want anyone to drop out in fear of getting wet.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Have a great day and stay dry!

The Angels are thrilled to host our 11th Annual Child Advocacy Expo. Not only is this a networking opportunity for our community partners, but it is an opportunity to gain experience about all the resources we have in our community that are making a difference in the lives of the children and families we advocate for 24/7.

We will have a special guest speaker, Shevaun Harris who is the Secretary of the Department of Children and Families, and introducing our new lead agency, Family Support Systems of North Florida. You will not want to miss this opportunity to gain experience about the changes in the child welfare system and the importance of our community partners being part of the solution. It takes each of us to work as a TEAM to have a greater impact on the children we advocate for.

The vision of this event continues to be focused on bringing together local agencies, charities and organizations involved in the child welfare system. It will be a morning of networking and information sharing. It is our hope to have all major players involved in this event which is why we are specifically requesting your participation. The Angels feel strongly about collaborating our efforts and working as a TEAM to accomplish more for the children we advocate for. Together we can truly be effective in their lives.

We will start the morning with a meet and greet of the local agencies. You will visit each of their tables and learn more about what is going on in our community that are affecting children’s lives and the many resources needed for their support. You will have an opportunity to introduce your agency to the group at the podium for a two-minute talk about your mission. Secretary Harris will take the podium to introduce herself and talk about moving forward and making changes. The remainder of the morning presentation will be followed by booth-time so that attendees can share materials about their organization and learn about the many resources available in our community. For every community agency attending, there will be an opportunity to enter a drawing to win a $500 donation from the Angels. These tickets will be provided at check-in. You must have a table assignment to be eligible.

She also led the Agency’s COVID-19 efforts in partnership with other state agencies and essential health care providers. Secretary Harris has held positions in the health and human services field, providing services to children and adults diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and children receiving services in an inpatient psychiatric program.

EVENT INFO

Sunday, May 29th, 2022 will mark the first time The Wilson Van has hit the stage in its full form since 2018 due to busy schedules and a worldwide pandemic. So they’re ready to make up for lost time on their biggest stage ever, Jannus Live in downtown St. Pete. Doors will open at 6:30pm with Kyle Schroeder performing along with some very special guests, Tampa Bay rock legends Greg Billings & Tony Wagner. All proceeds go to the non-profit Wilson Family Foundation, Inc. with funds distributed that evening to several of our favorite local non-profits.

WHO

They may be bonded by blood but it’s their love for music and deep sense of community that has driven Paul, Mark and Patrick Wilson to make their family jam sessions public. Patrick’s an internationally acclaimed actor, Paul is an accomplished singer and actor who also owns an ad agency and Mark is an Emmy award-winning television news anchor. Their high-energy rock shows cover the spectrum of 80’s classic hits with a special emphasis on Van Halen which bonded them as kids while they first learned their instruments. But they enjoy surprising their supporters with a blend of current hits and a handful of original songs as well.
