2013 MKZ

Statistically speaking, they’re all the same person.

(But we’re not about statistics.)

When did luxury lose focus on the individual and start seeing us all as one? When did it swerve from a singular vision and head for the middle road? We’re not sure who led this detour, but a new road starts here with the 2013 MKZ by the Lincoln Motor Company. Now with an innovative push-button shift designed to create an elegantly open and very personal interior cabin space. Get to know the MKZ at Lincoln.com.

Publisher’s Notes Focus on the future, celebrate the now. This issue of METRO covers a little of both. If you have children, then you know how important it is to find a good school for your child’s education. Once again, METRO surveyed local private schools and we’ve provided the information in a handy and concise chart. We hope this is a valuable resource in your search. We’ve also featured three families from Tampa Preparatory School, Saint Paul’s School and St. Mary’s Episcopal Day School. These families discuss with writer, Mary Lou Janson, their choice and benefits for choosing their school.

In this issue, we’ve found the perfect holiday drinks to toast the holidays. Meet Dave, Logan and Jon — three local mixologists who spend their days behind the bar crafting new cocktails. They have shared their recipe secrets, but it might just be easier to order up at the bar, rather than attempting yourself.

There are some wonderful charity events coming up early next year. The Heart Gallery of Tampa Bay, a project of the Junior League of Tampa, will host an inaugural event, Be Mine 2013: Diamonds & Cigars at the Tampa Bay History Center, to help raise funds and awareness for children in the foster care system to become adopted and join a forever family on Feb. 7. Meet Sharmila and Seth Vivek, who created the charity, Children Across Borders, and will host Bollywood Nights at the Tampa Museum of Art on Feb. 23. Save the date for Easter Seals’ A Pair to Remember at the Tampa Yacht & Country Club on Feb. 15.

We are so grateful and proud of our partnership with the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay to provide their annual report inside METRO. There is a wealth of information on local charities and the good works that are being done.

Wishing all of you a joyous and happy holiday season.

Children Across Borders, Inc. (CAB), a Tampa-based 501(c) 3 organization, launched in Oct. 2011 by Sharmila & Vivek Seth to benefit grassroots, non-profit organizations that are positively impacting the lives of children around the world. To date, more than $40,000 has been donated to its beneficiary organizations that include orphanages, schools for the underprivileged & disabled, health clinics & day care centers both in Tampa, FL, and Bangalore, India. “The basis of this organization is to reach out to the the less fortunate,” say Sharmila and Vivek Seth. “What sets CAB apart from most charities is that 100 percent of third-party contributions are used to benefit these worthy organizations.”

Michele Tuegel Owner, Michele Tuegel Contemporary

By Megan Voeller

Michele Tuegel knows art and fine craft. From 1988 until 2004, Tuegel served as executive director of Florida Craftsmen, Inc. — the organization’s first leader — helping to establish St. Petersburg as a city of the arts and create a market for handmade art by Florida artists.

Last October, she opened her own gallery, Michele Tuegel Contemporary, just blocks from Florida Craftsmen. The two spaces aren’t likely to compete — Tuegel carries mostly works by artists who live outside of Florida, like Brooklyn-based Doug Johnston, who makes soft baskets and bags by coiling and stitching cotton cord, and Virginiabased blacksmith Marc Maiorana, who

St Petersburg Alley #1, Steven Kenny, 2012 oil on panel, 17.5'' x 12.5''

Artist Profile: Steven Kenny

By Megan Voeller

December/January 2013

Two years ago, artist Steven Kenny relocated to St. Petersburg from New York State after falling in love with the city during a visit to the Dalí Museum.

Now he’s exhibiting his own paintings in an exhibition titled, “Invasive Species” at ARTicles Art Gallery in St. Pete, and the subject of his latest work is the city he calls home today.

Kenny paints in a highly realistic style influenced by his study of illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. His latest oil paintings depict St. Pete alleys

www.TampaBayMetro.com

with gritty but beautiful photorealistic precision: overflowing rubbish bins, crumbling pavement, architecture and irrepressible floral life. The series is a departure from Kenny’s customary subject matter — surreal narrative tableaus.

“Invasive Species” runs December 8-January 2 at ARTicles Art Gallery, 1445 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg. For more information, call 727-898-6061 or go to www.articlesstpete.com. For more information about the artist, go to www.stevenkenny.com.

From the soothing smell of lemongrass and eucalyptus oils to the dimly lit sconces and earth toned walls, this place is the definition of zen. I’m a very picky spa goer so I notice all of the minor details that this place addressed.

The law firm of Sparkman & Sparkman, PA recently held their third annual Give Thanks Open House & Food Drive, to benefit those in need within the Tampa Bay area. Joining the firm for a traditional turkey feast with all the fixings, guests were invited to bring non-perishable food and/or non-food items to help a family make their own Thanksgiving Feast, such as canned corn, yams, pumpkin pie filling, paper plates, forks, non-carbonated drinks, etc.

The donated items were taken to the Salvation Army in downtown Tampa, in hopes of making it a special Thanksgiving for area families. It was a great way to show how the community can give back, and share the gratitude in celebrating the holiday season, in a meaningful fashion.

Kevin and Shazia Sparkman hope to see everyone again next year for this important event.

Pinpointing where her preference for one-of-a-kind finds versus mass-produced merchandise originated is difficult but one good guess is her grandfather, a blacksmith in Ohio who also refinished antiques. She still has some of his pieces and speculates it may have been his handiwork that sparked her own creative spirit.

Amy eventually found a kindred spirit in Katie Gagnon, who had recently acquired The Blue Moon Trading Company in South Tampa where Amy now works part time. Not only does Amy help restore some of the treasures found during the cross-country buying trips she and Katie sometimes take together, she happily helps Right: The dining room mixes others who period French cane wooden chairs with a modern, come into Blue distressed metal zinc topped Moon seeking a table.

“People always comment on the fact that the look of our home is so different,” she said. “I just know if I love it, I don’t want to get rid of it. I will move it around the house.”

Whether it is the trolley sign that originated in London and arrived in Tampa, via a buying trip to Texas, a stack of school lockers now used to store sports gear, an oversized clock with Roman numerals that seems timeless, a dentist’s cabinet discovered in Mount Dora now displaying toiletries and towels in the front bathroom, a collection of shells the family collected during visits to Sanibel Island showcased in a wood and glass cabinet, or the stunning zinc-topped dining room table paired with French cane back chairs that hosts family meals, Amy proves she has an uncommon knack for making common items look right at home — anywhere.

njoy the privacy and southern charm of this Plantation style home located in south Tampa, with glistening views of the Hillsborough Bay from nearly every room. A brick walkway leads to the front porch and the welcoming bright red painted front door.

Jonathan Harrell Spirits Director The Mandarin Hide

The Jolly Gin 1oz Haymans Old Tom gin .5 Aperol .5 Snap .25 Lemon .5 Winter syrup (clove, star anise, cinnamon, brown sugar) Garnish star anise & orange twist Mix of flavors orange, ginger snap, and holiday spices with a wet gin to balance flavors.

Most interesting bar story?

At Mandarin Hide, we have a giant door. On one late evening weekend night, I noticed something shining in my direction as I was starting to close down the bar. I picked my head up and a horse was staring back at me.

Our head doorman talked to the mounted police officers and thought it would be funny to come inside the bar with it.

Any good tips for the home bar?

Scotch is essential. After that, the classics are a good starting point to help master the mixing: Grand Mariner, Tanqueray, Chartreuse, Fernet Branca, and a good Bourbon.

Most interesting person served?

Angus Winchester, Ambassador - Tanqueray

David Madera General Manager Wine and Spirits Director Mise en Place

Chaleur “French word for warmth” 1.5 oz Rye whiskey 1 oz Spiced apple ginger liqueur ¾ oz Maple syrup 2 oz Warm water Chantilly or whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon Combine rye whiskey, spiced apple liqueur and maple syrup in a mixing glass, stir and then add to a 6oz. stemmed port glass. Add warm water and pour into glass. Top off rest of glass with Chantilly and sprinkle top with cinnamon.

Most interesting story that you have heard while bartending?

I would have to say the story of Mise’s Lafayette room being haunted.

When I started here, some of the staff gave me a heads up about the freaky things that would go on down there. I was skeptical … until I had my first encounter with it. Let’s just say that you won’t find me down in the Lafayette room by myself after dark.

Tips for the home bar. Suggestions?

Bourbon, jigger and proper glassware — you would be surprised to see how things taste differently when they are in their correct glassware.

Logan Owens Bartender Tryst Gastro Lounge

Chai Tea Sour 3/4 oz Chai tea simple syrup 1/4 oz Fresh lemon juice 1.5 oz Beefeater 24 gin 1 Egg white Combine all ingredients in pint glass and shake vigorously without ice. Then add ice to your shaker and shake all ingredients with ice. Make sure you shake the cocktail 15-20 shakes with and without ice, this will help create a nice frothy meringue. Strain over fresh ice in a nice lowball or rocks glass.

Garnish with a dash of all spice or cinnamon and sugar...cheers!

How long have you been a bartender & how did you end up behind the bar?

I started bartending about 6 years ago, I was technically a barback but helped pour drinks on busy nights. I had a knack for it, picked up a few solo shifts, been bartending ever since.

Tips for the home bar. Suggestions?

Always use fresh ingredients, especially lemon juice. Buy well made glassware that is sleek and classy. A good single malt scotch will never go out of style, every home bar needs a bottle.

Most famous person served?

I've served several celebrities ... but I'd say the most famous is Steven Spielberg.

Three Local Families Share Their Decisions

how much it meant to them when they were being mentored,” Molly added.

With an approximate 440-student capacity, class sizes average 22 students, allowing for individual attention as well as inclusive group interactions.

“We know that our children will be academically prepared when they move on after eighth grade. Equally important are the character traits they are developing. St. Mary’s is helping to plant the seeds for a solid moral compass as they become young adults,” she said. “Here it is not frowned upon to be smart or well-rounded – it’s cool. There is no pressure to hide those qualities. As parents, we love that.”

The Smith Family

St. Mary’s Episcopal Day School www.smeds.org Molly and Brian Smith attended private schools while growing up in Tampa, but considered all options when it came time to select a school for the oldest of their three children.

“We knew this was our opportunity to investigate every school because the others (siblings) would likely follow in his (their son’s) path,” said Molly Smith.

The list eventually narrowed down to four, with St. Mary’s Episcopal Day School emerging as the front-runner.

Matthew, age 11, Andrew, 9, and Maggie, 7, now attend fifth, fourth and second grades, respectively, at the church-affiliated school founded in 1953. Each began as pre-kindergarten students.

“A warm, loving feeling and sense of community permeates the campus,” Molly recalled. “Our priorities were strong academics and enrichment offerings in a Christian setting. A safe, secure campus and strong faculty were also very important.”

The eight-acre South Tampa campus enhances that closely knit feeling by combining 30 classrooms, administrative offices, health room, science labs, art and music rooms, video production studio, computer labs and a media center within the main building. A performing arts facility offers theater, event and meeting space. A full-size gym, adjoining playgrounds, soccer field and an outdoor court provide ample sports and recreational facilities. St. Mary’s Church, also located on campus, hosts school chapel twice weekly.

“There is strong unity and camaraderie when all 10 grades, from pre-K to eighth, share a single campus.

Several programs exist where older students are paired to work with younger students. They learn to treat the younger students with respect and kindness because they remember

grade and kindergarten so finding a good school factored into the relocation plans.

The internet, phone calls to Pinellas County schools and periodic trips helped the couple compile a list of suitable schools for consideration.

“We called local high schools and looked on-line to help make a long distance decision. We asked the high schools where the students that they really valued came from.

Everything kept pointing back to Saint Paul’s,” said Carrie continued on page 50 Stec. “When we started asking

specifically about Saint Paul’s, we could not find anyone who had anything negative to say.”

After touring the campus, Craig Eihl quickly encouraged Carrie to check it out for herself.

The location was appealing not only for its proximity to the family’s condo, but also for the quiet residential streets surrounding the 10-acre campus. The proximity to Allen’s Creek was a big plus because the natural resource encompasses 350 acres of tidal wetlands, that serve as a living classroom for science studies and enables students to observe wildlife in its native habitat.

Ultimately the deciding factor was the overall quality of educational experience offered by the faculty and sense of community that made Saint Paul’s School a great fit for the entire family.

“We put education first. Some of the things we looked for included the strong technology, science and math programs offered there,” Carrie added.

“Once we decided to move here, we really pushed to make sure the timing was right. We didn’t want to wait too long. It has been a seamless transition. The boys did not miss a beat. They made friends right away. This is a very warm school. Families are close and many of them have been here for generations but we have never felt like outsiders,” she said.

“It was a plunge into the unknown for us but we are so happy with the way it worked out.”

The Fahey Family

December/January 2013

www.TampaBayMetro.com

Tampa Preparatory School www.tampaprep.org Only a few months have passed since 9th grade student Lane Fahey started classes at Tampa Preparatory School but, in some ways, the private, secondary school has always been part of her life. Parents John and Heather Fahey both attended local schools while growing up in the Tampa Bay area. Lane’s mother studied at St. Petersburg’s Northside Christian and her father is a Tampa Prep graduate.

While Lane’s friends from Adams Middle School currently pursue academic studies at other Tampa Bay public and private schools, the 14-year-old opted to follow in her father’s footsteps and picked Tampa Preparatory for her high school years. “We gave Lane a significant ownership stake in the decision-making process. After spending time at Tampa Prep, hearing me talk about it, shadowing students and interviewing there, there was no doubt. It was her first choice, despite the rigorous curriculum and academic program,” John Fahey recalled.

Founded in 1974, Tampa Prep eventually moved from its original University of Tampa campus site to a newly constructed campus located across the Hillsborough River from downtown.

Despite those changes and the passing decades, the independent, college prep school’s connection with the Fahey family remains strong and its educational experience appealing enough to span the generations.

“Prep moved in to a new campus my freshman year and some of the faculty and upperclassmen were worried that the family-feel would be lost moving from the cozy, original campus. But the school has maintained a tremendous sense of community as it has expanded. Lane felt part of the Tampa Prep family the first time she stepped on that awesome new campus,” Fahey said.

Earning all A’s for her first intermediate semester report, competing on the school volleyball team and preparing to play violin with the Tampa Prep Orchestra this spring would indicate that, like father, like daughter, Tampa Prep is bringing out the best in another Fahey family member.

“Tampa Prep was absolutely a phenomenal experience that I first went through as a student, for 20 years as an alumnus and now as a parent.

Prep’s goal is to develop a student into an extremely well-rounded person so that they can, not only focus on getting into the most selective colleges, but succeed once they get there,” he added. M

city rich with tradition, Pensacola was first settled in 1559 by Spanish explorers and considered to be “Florida’s First Beach.” Located in the northwest corner of Florida, the Pensacola area is 469 miles from Tampa, and drive time is approximately seven hours. This is an ideal spot for a beach escape filled with fresh coastal cuisine, arts and culture, shopping, history and Southern hospitality.

Pensacola boasts a rich military heritage with the Naval Air Station Pensacola, and a first stop should include the National Naval Aviation Museum, to learn about the Naval Aviation history with more than 150 aircraft on display, museum exhibits and MaxFlight Simulators. Admission is free. During March - November, the Blue Angels perform practice shows Tues. and Thurs. at the museum. The museum also has an

Another must-see is the Historic Pensacola Village which encompasses 27 properties, with 11 of those open to the public, showcasing over 450 years of Florida history. The T.T. Wentworth, Jr. Florida State Museum serves as the flagship of the Village and exhibits three floors of West Florida’s history, artifacts and archeology inside the Renaissance Revival style building. The museum was originally built in 1907 as Pensacola’s City Hall. Throughout the year, the Historic Pensacola Village offers a living history through costumed guides sharing the early colonial way of life.

METROGuide Wine white wines of France” or “Cabernet Sauvignons of the world,” and have each member of the group bring a bottle.

7| Book a wine themed getaway Visit a wine region and immerse yourself in the local wines and cuisine. Use a birthday or anniversary as an excuse or justification, if necessary. There is something magically tranquil and relaxing about vineyards and wine country, and there is no substitute for visiting a wine region to spark a lifelong affinity for a region.

H

ere are ten New Year’s wine resolutions guaranteed to make 2013 a more enjoyable year.

After all, these are much easier to keep than going to the gym, losing weight or learning a new language. So join me on a quest to make 2013 the best year ever for enjoying wine.

1| Invest in the correct stemware Stemware is an important part of the wine drinking experience. Certain wines require the appropriate glass in order for them to taste their best. For instance, Pinot Noir is best served in a Burgundy glass which has a rounded bowl and a tapered opening, allowing the aromas to accumulate in the glass. After all, aromas are an important part of enjoying fine wines.

2| Pay attention to temperature As a society we drink our white wines too cold, and we drink our red wines too warm. Both whites and reds are better served closer to cellar temperature (58-65 degrees). When white wines are served too cold, the flavors and aromas of the wine are muted. Conversely, serving reds too warm accentuates alcohol and oakiness in the wine.

54

December/January 2013

3| Give Chablis another chance Chablis has been bastardized in America by wineries that have used the name for inexpensive bulk white wine. Chablis is actually the northernmost region within Burgundy and is the world’s crispest, leanest and most mineral expression of the Chardonnay grape. True French Chablis is a superb value and an ideal match for shellfish of all kinds.

4| Drink less, but better quality wine According to the Surgeon General, one to two glasses of wine per day is healthy. In this New Year, try drinking fewer glasses, but enjoy better quality wine.

5| Prepare a meal based upon a wine Too often a meal is planned and wines are then paired to go with the dinner. In the New Year, try planning a meal by picking the wine first and planning a dinner around the flavors of the wine.

6| Start a tasting group Start by rounding up your oenophile friends and tell them it is a drinking club.

This will most likely get their attention long enough for you to explain the purpose. Determine a theme such as “the

www.TampaBayMetro.com

8| Buy your wine from an independent wine shop Big box retailers can offer a nice selection of wines and competitive prices, however the staff often does not select the wines and cannot make informed recommendations in the same way independent retailers can. In the New Year, find an independent wine shop and allow the staff a chance to get to know your palate.

9| Keep a wine log It can be as simple as a photo of the label with a simple description of the wine.

Store your log of digital pictures in a file on your computer and try listing three fruit flavors and three non-fruit flavors for each wine. Play Robert Parker and assign a score on the 100-point scale. By the end of the year you will have amassed an impressive log of wines with tasting notes and scores that you can reference.

10| Open that special wine Every wine lover has a special and cherished wine they have been keeping for some unknown special occasion. Too often during the waiting process the special wine has transformed into a ‘past its prime’ wine. Life is short. Wine is just a beverage that is meant to bring enjoyment when shared with friends and family. M —Kevin Pelley, Certified Sommelier Wine Merchant: Bern’s Fine Wines & Spirits www.bernsfinewines.com

rtist, architect, sculptor and playwright, Bernini himself would approve of this longtime Ybor City favorite restaurant. A unique atmosphere of the 1920s Ybor Bank is the perfect setting for an ever evolving, innovative Italian menu. If you haven’t been to the 7th Street eatery in awhile, treat yourself to re-discover a true culinary gem with its wood fired pizzas, pastas and entrees. Bernini is owned by Jason Fernandez, who also owns three additional hot spots in Ybor City including Wet Willy, Green Iguana and his newest concept, Carne Chophouse. Speaking with pride as a 4th generation native, Fernandez says, “Ybor is the best place in the world to eat ethnic food.” He sites the Columbia Restaurant, Acropolis Greek Taverna, Carmine’s and a host of

For Diana Ekonomou, philanthropy is a family tradition. Her father and mother, Ramon and Josephine Campo, taught Diana and her brother Daniel early on what it meant to give back to the community they so loved.

“I saw the passion and the love that he and my mom had for the Y,” says Ekonomou as she remembers one very special winter, at Christmastime, when Ray Campo’s beloved YMCA called to tell him they did not have money to make payroll that month.

Without hesitation, Campo immediately wrote a check to cover the shortfall, and in doing so displayed just one of many ways he supported the agency over the years.

“That was my first real involvement with understanding we needed to do these things and give back to the community.”

A second generation, self-proclaimed “Tampanian,” Diana Ekonomou honors her heritage by also being actively involved in giving back. Grants she makes from her family’s donor advised fund at the Community Foundation continue to support the agencies that were dear to her parents, such as the Campo Family Y, the Salesian Sisters, the

Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay, and the Camp Cristina YMCA, named in memory of her daughter, Cristina.

Born with a congenital heart defect, Cristina had been given just 72 hours to live, but lived to be almost four years old. The Campos set up a private foundation in honor of their granddaughter, which Ekonomou ran for many years. “And then we decided to move the Cristina Memorial Foundation into the Community Foundation, and it made my life a lot easier,” explains Ekonomou. “It’s a phone call and a fax. The phone call is to let you know the fax is coming,” she said, noting the ease of making grants through the Community Foundation and no longer having to handle the administrative documents and processing she managed for their family’s private foundation.

Ekonomou’s thirty-two year old son, Andrew, carries on the family tradition of giving by donating his time and talent building sprinkler systems for the In her words: Diana Ekonomou Scan this code with your smart phone to watch the video interview with Diana, or follow this link: http://bit.ly/UCl8GV

various camps. Her brother, Dan, is very active in building out and maintaining Camp Cristina, which now boasts a new Wet Willy water slide and a catch and release pond.

Ekonomou says that’s part of their family tradition. “My parents were very proud to be first generation, first born Americans,” says Ekonomou.

“They felt privileged to be born here, privileged to be afforded the opportunity to succeed in this country, to work hard, and give back.”

At 29 years old, Matt Klein retired. A self-made millionaire from his tech investments, he left before the tech bubble burst and had the rest of his life to enjoy his success. With so many doors now open to him, Matt opted instead to open a private foundation with half of his fortune to support those causes important to him.

People who knew Matt saw a smart, handsome, and generous man, very invested in supporting agencies focused on environmental issues, renewable energy, and social inequality. To his parents, Bill and Ginny, Matt’s foundation showed both his heart for giving and his incredible sense of humor. He named it “Kwyjibo,” after a scrabble word used by Bart Simpson in an episode of the popular TV show, The Simpsons.

But, like his parents, no one ever really saw his other side, the side of a cocaine addict fighting against hope to get clean.

“He was brilliant, he was loving, he was very accomplished. He was an addict,” recalls his mother, Ginny, describing her youngest son. “He tried to help as many people as he could, but he couldn’t help himself.”

In July, 2009, Matt lost his battle with drugs. In the wake of this devastating loss, his parents took up their son’s charitable efforts by funding programs that met his foundation’s mission, and by educating youth about the real tragedy of addiction. “We realized addiction is an illness, like diabetes,” explains Matt’s father, Bill.

Matt was also a major player and CEO of Verdant Power, a sustainable energy startup company which put turbines in the East River in New York City to generate power using the tidal flow. He was very active in Verdant and Kwyjibo until his death.

In addition to grants made to drug rehabilitation and education programs, Matt also had a passion for the environment. Over the years his foundation made grants in support of a variety of projects, from the wombat breeding program at the Chicago Zoo, to providing resources for Blue Planet, an organization that is focused on providing safe drinking water and sanitation programs worldwide. In honor of his generosity, a new well and water tank providing potable water bears a plaque with his name in a village in Cambodia.

The Kleins moved the Kwyjibo Foundation into a donor advised fund at the Community Foundation last year. “Matt spent a great deal of time researching charities that fostered his goals,” the Kleins explained.

“Since this research is an area in which the Community Foundation excels, it is a good fit for Kwyjibo.”

“And that’s why we’re trying to dedicate Kwyjibo to fight addiction and educate young people, to keep kids out of it before they start.”

In their words: Bill & Ginny Klein: Scan this code with your smart phone to watch the video interview with the Kleins, or follow this link: http://bit.ly/W8RpYQ

One of their primary goals is to find programs they know will meet Matt’s charitable wishes and are being implemented by established, well-run agencies. “We’ve endowed Academy Prep with scholarship money for Matt Klein scholarships, two every year, as a way of perpetuating his memory. They’re doing a fine job of educating young folks,” relates Bill.

Through the Kwyjibo Fund, the Klein family remains committed to honoring Matt’s big heart and quick wit, and to fulfilling his charitable legacy.

Annual Report 2012

Community Foundation of Tampa Bay

Celia Ferman: Our successes have come from the community and we felt like our giving should go back to the community that has made life good for us. From the beginning, Jim and I saw that it was the right thing to do. It was a vehicle, and a resource, and it was a way that we could do what we wanted to do without having to hire more people to handle things. The Foundation saved us money, we felt safe that they were going to do the right thing, that we could trust that it would be done expediently, and we’ve never been disappointed.

Fred Fisher: We believe in their work with at-risk kids. My mother and I grew up together, as I say, a single mother and a three story walk-up, and I’ve been lucky in life. People have given me a little boost. I’ve had wonderful mentors that were interested in me, and it seemed to have worked. So I say, if I can move out of that situation, why not move a lot of others.

CFTB: Why do you give through the Community Foundation?

Celia Ferman: The Community Foundation offers you a couple of different options.

You can give them your money and have them (grant) your money where they think its best to be put, or if you have things that are a real passion, you can say “I’m really interested in education, tell me what you think are the best education options out there for me, where I can have the most effective use of my money.” Because I think that’s what we all want.

Fred Fisher: The Foundation has a very professional management staff and a creative board that I believe is respected and trusted in the community, and by the donors and recipients. There’s been over $100 million spread around in the community. I’d like to see the Community Foundation grow, and I think they have the tools and the legs to do that.

CFTB: Why do you think the Community Foundation is important to Tampa Bay?

We are extremely fortunate to have the advice and guidance of our Leadership Council. This group of experienced, caring citizens is willing to share their wisdom and continues to provide invaluable feedback to the Foundation and its Board of Trustees. The Council’s experience helps us stay the course in our mission to build a better community through creative philanthropy, vision, and leadership.

This year, two members of our Council sat down with our staff to talk about their involvement with the Community Foundation.

Annual Report 2012

Community Foundation of Tampa Bay

In her words: Lenore Costello Scan this code with your smart phone to watch Lenore’s video interview, or follow this link: http://bit.ly/Sy7dQo

Five years ago, Lenore Costello climbed Mt. LeConte in Tennessee, for the second time. The first time, she was sixty years younger. But what can stop a woman with Girl Scouting in her veins, and whose very life replicates the agency’s mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place? Certainly not a little mountain of 6,400 feet!

For sixty-seven years, Costello (or “Gundy” as she has been affectionately known to dozens of troops for over six decades) has worked with or supported Girl Scouting. It started after she moved to Winter Haven and became a troop leader while she worked full time at the American Red Cross. Seven years later, the Girl Scouts of Lake Ridge asked her to become their CEO. Gundy still has friends visiting from troops she’s known through the years.

“It’s been a wonderful experience for me. Not only the relationships that I’ve had with the girls,” she explains, “but the Girl Scouts organization taught me a lot, especially in management.”

Now, at age 95, the former troop leader and CEO has established a charitable gift annuity with the Community Foundation, designating the Girl Scouts of West Central Florida as the beneficiary. She credits the advice of her lawyer for suggesting the annuity, saying “I like the idea of my getting a little check every month for the rest of my life!”

We are pleased to have Gundy as a member of the Community Foundation’s Legacy Society, and she is pleased to know that, through her charitable gift annuity, she has honored the agency she credits for helping her world – and the world at large – to become a better place.

“It’s been a wonderful experience for me. Not only the relationships that I’ve had with the girls, but the Girl Scouts organization taught me a lot, especially in management.”

A Legacy of Courage, Confidence, and Character

We acknowledge the advisors who worked in partnership with the Community Foundation during the past fiscal year to facilitate opportunities for charitable giving for their clients. The funds established through these advisors will benefit many lives in many ways for generations to come.

The Community Foundation of Tampa Bay places great importance on its relationships with attorneys, CPAs, trust officers, financial planners, life insurance representatives, and other professional advisors. Their expertise and integrity are key elements in that relationship.

It’s no surprise that Marilyn Polson consistently seeks to assist her clients with their charitable giving. She, herself, is charitably inclined, having served on local nonprofit boards in our community over the years. For those who do their research, they know that she has not only repeatedly been named a Florida Super Lawyer by her peers and served as President of the Suncoast Estate Planning Council, but she has also been named the recipient of Fisher & Sauls’ Florida Supreme Chief Justice’s Law Firm Commendation Award for her outstanding pro bono work.

Charitable giving is a part of the heritage that Polson creates with her clients. Past, current, and future giving reflect the continuum of generosity that she fosters by crafting estate plans that allow her clients to make lasting gifts to the Foundation in support of the nonprofit agencies they value. And they value everything from health care to the arts to the environment to their faith-based organizations.

“If I have clients who want to give in an endowed manner, I always talk about the Community Foundation as an ideal way to do that,” says Polson. “Ultimately the goal is to benefit our local area, and you want to work with people who are awarding grants who are familiar with the charitable organizations in our area.”

In 2000, the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay established a matching dollar fund designed to provide Tampa Bay area nonprofits with the opportunity to build permanent endowments for their organizations. Born out of the generosity of several donors, this matching dollar fund was the beginning of our Leave a Legacy Challenge Grant Program. The one-to-three matching program helps nonprofits develop their planned gifts and build an endowment that will ultimately yield a steady, growing income stream, assuring financial stability and growth.

As of June 30, 2012, over $3.75 million has been contributed by these generous donors, which in turn has provided 44 local agencies with the opportunity to successfully launch their own endowment funds. Since inception, over $3 million has been awarded to the following agencies:

Message From The Chair In 2012 we marked 20 years as a Division of the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay and continue to strive to make a difference in the lives and circumstances of people and organizations in south Hillsborough County. Ever proactive, the Council initiated literacy grants to Title 1 elementary schools in our service area and funded rabies clinics through the Humane Society of Tampa Bay to be held this season in the communities of Gibsonton and Wimauma.

With a still struggling economy, our focus has been on ensuring that the basic needs of families are met, reaching out to food banks and other providers of basic services. A grant to the Hope Fund ensured that funding was available to provide a summer program for children at Bethune Park. Each year presents new challenges for our local organizations and through the generosity of our donors we remain up to the challenge.

When, at 92, Edna Campbell outlived her fixed term annuity, her daughter Jeanne Lloyd suggested she consider a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) with the Community Foundation of Greater Sun City Center.

“We were looking for some way to simplify and have cash coming in every month, so my mother would always have a cash flow,” explains Jeanne. She and her husband, Luke, had already begun talking about the benefits of the Community Foundation with founder and then CEO George Baxter. The CGA was the vehicle they chose.

“We went with a charitable gift annuity for the purpose of continuing what my parents had done,” says Jeanne. “They loved to help out young people.”

Edna lived to receive one check before she died, at which time Jeanne became the fund advisor for the donor advised fund that had been established at the Foundation in conjunction with the annuity. The donor advised fund allows Jeanne to be flexible in where and when she wishes to give grants using the remainder of her mother’s original gift and honoring her mother’s charitable legacy.

“Philanthropy is something I grew up with and my mother’s favorite expression was ‘There but for the grace of God, go I.’ I’ve been blessed. I want to give blessings to the people who are blessing others.”

Shortly after establishing this fund with the Community Foundation, Luke served as a council member of the Foundation’s Sun City Center division. “I really enjoyed holding classes around the Sun City Center area,” he recalls, “educating people about the different ways they could give through the Community Foundation.”

Having been a career Army man and wife, the Lloyds often grant to the Military Family Support Trust and Operation Helping Hand, Inc. in Sun City Center. They also continue the Campbells’ main philanthropic love of helping young people through grants made to the Redlands Christian Migrant Association and Youth Environmental Services.

“I get more out of it maybe than they do,” says Jeanne. “It makes me feel good to know I’ve been able to help somebody that needs help.”

In the year since her passing on August 31, 2011, Sister Rosalie has been sorely missed by the entire Tampa Bay area and in the Sun City Center community in particular. A member of the Order of Servants of Mary since 1947, Sister Rosalie relocated to Tampa in 1982, where she served as Executive Director of Alpha House of Tampa and Director of Grants and Services of the Conn Memorial Foundation. Following her retirement, she relocated to Sun City Center where she served as Grants Chair of the Community Foundation of Greater Sun City Center until her passing. Her focus on the needs of children and of those living in poverty benefitted our community immensely.

Her compassion, wisdom, and generosity of spirit have left visible marks on the community she loved.

Her leadership at Alpha House was honored by the construction of the Rosalie Center in 2001, and the Sister Rosalie Fund has been established within the Community Foundation of Greater Sun City Center.

Through these institutions her spirit continues to uplift the underserved people she dedicated her life to serving. She continues to be our guiding light as we move forward in grant making.

Message From The Chair What an exciting time to be part of such a flourishing community! Our Foundation awarded more than $1 million in grants this past year in a growing tradition of grant making that enriches the lives of those around us.

We ended the year with just over $11 million in assets and encourage others to join us in building up this community savings bank.

Imagine the good that can be done, year after year, with endowment funds that continue to give back!

Donors who trust the Foundation with unrestricted gifts to the Community Impact Fund are rewarded by knowing that our Grants Committee has put the dollars from that fund to very good use supporting important programs at Girls, Inc., Ready for Life, and Tampa Bay Watch among others.

Thank you to all of our very generous donors and each of the volunteers who work with the Community Foundation to create a higher quality of life for us all. We look forward to another fulfilling year ahead.

A quick look at Dr. Edward Lurie’s curriculum vitae and you’ll know this is a man who doesn’t sit still. A glance at his wife Vivian’s will confirm with little doubt that this is one couple truly invested in their community. As both the past president of the Seminole Chamber of Commerce, and a former “Mr. Seminole” as voted by the Chamber, Dr. Edward Lurie is proud to have worked toward incorporating the City of Seminole in 1970.

The Luries’ involvement with Seminole and their community reflects a motto dear to their hearts, “Service above self.” That core value of Rotary International is why they have been founders, trustees, or members of over 40 organizations in Pinellas County and beyond. The Luries are active Rotarians, giving their time, talent, and treasure to the organization for more than 50 years. They believe Rotary is making an impact locally and globally. “Rotary is the largest philanthropic service organization in the world and it doesn’t have to deal with politics to get things done,” explains Vivian. “That’s why things happen.”

The Luries’ two children, 33 year old Michael and 30 year old Sara Beth Watson, share their parents’ philanthropic views. “Michael is also actively involved with Rotary,” reports Dr. Lurie, and their daughter has a passion for the Fugees, a group of refugees from Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries who have lost at least one family member, or who have been victimized by war. The Luries are confident this philanthropic calling will be passed along to their two grand-daughters, now ages five and three.

On the advice of their professional advisor, the Luries established a donor advised fund at the Community Foundation in September of 2008. Dr. Lurie describes their fund as “the vehicle I was looking for.” Through their fund, and through its successor advisors, Michael and Sara Beth, the Lurie Family will be able to continue their heritage of giving in Seminole and beyond.

Crescent of Hernando d/b/a Crescent Community Clinic is the latest participant in the Community Foundation of Hernando County Challenge Grant program.

Crescent is the only free clinic in Hernando County. Its mission is to improve the health and well-being of the underserved, uninsured, and indigent. All doctors, dentists, nurses, and other administrative staff are volunteers; however, the cost of consumables mounts.

The community has united to provide quality healthcare to those in need and to succeed in the challenge grant.

Executive Director Barbara Sweinberg states, “What is rewarding is “What is rewarding is that our most indigent patients that our most indigent have reached into their very limited resources (sometimes only a few coins or dollars) and taken patients have reached ownership of helping.” into their very limited This Challenge Grant Program was established resources (sometimes in 2008 thanks to a very generous gift from Bob and Mary Sierra and the Sierra Foundation to encourage only a few coins or Hernando agencies to develop and build an endow- dollars) and taken ment fund to provide a steady income stream. The ownership of helping.” program provides a 1:2 match up to a maximum Barbara Sweinberg, Executive Director of $25,000 per participant.

Bob and Mary Sierra are happy to see the program progressing and remain hopeful that other local donors take the initiative in giving to the Community Foundation.

Leadership Pasco addresses community issues

The Community Foundation of Pasco County was invited by Leadership Pasco to participate in their Leadership in Action Day, where five different panels discussed pressing community issues and explored the various challenges facing Pasco County and the Tampa Bay area.

Ellie Paladine, former Council member and Grants chair, represented the Foundation as a participant on the nonprofit panel. “This year’s class learned a lot about our community and will be able to put their knowledge to good use to benefit Pasco County,” says Paladine.

Recognizing that homelessness is a growing problem facing Pasco County, one Leadership Pasco class created the “Hygiene for Humanity” project. With assistance from a Philanthropy in Action Foundation grant, the class raised enough funds to purchase two mobile shower trailers for The Coalition for the Homeless of Pasco. These shower facilities now serve those in need of basic hygiene and health care, and are of particular value to those preparing for job interviews.

Such community spirit is continually fostered by Leadership Pasco, whose role is to educate emerging business leaders about their community and encourage idea exchanges that ultimately benefit the Pasco community as a whole.
