Woman’s Club of New TampaWe are a 501c3 non profit organization. We usually have a hands on project and or a speaker from the community during our meeting. We meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 12 to 1pm at the New Tampa YMCA, from August - May. During June and July we usually pick a location, have lunch and meet potential new members.

Members distributed over 100 WHALE car safety seat kits to parents at Hunters Green Elementary School Spring Fling. Parents were encouraged to use the safety information on the back of car seat and booster seats in case of an emergency. For more information visit whaleprogram.org

Our website is www.gfwcwomansclubnewtampa.com. Potential new members may email [email protected] to obtain information.

Junior Woman’s Club of New TampaWe meet the 2nd Monday of each month, at 6:30pm, at the New Tampa YMCA, from August - May.

In addition to the other six GFWC Community Service Program area we work with- the GFWC Juniors also have a Juniors Special

Project. GFWC Florida Juniors voted to create the slogan, “One Voice for Children” to emphasis community service for the sake of children. “One Voice for Children” projects are selected based on their ability to have a positive impact on the lives of Florida’s children. Planting pinwheels to raise awareness for Prevent Child Abuse Florida was on display in April. You probably saw them!!

Junior Woman’s Club of Wesley ChapelWe meet year-round on the 1st Tuesday of each month. Currently we are meeting at the Lexington Oaks Community Center from 6:30-8:30pm.

In April, we focused on International Outreach. We were excited to host a guest presenter, Cindy McFadden, from Fish Company. It is a non-profit which helps to fund orphanages in several parts of the world, including Thailand, Uganda, and Tanzania. They raise money through donations, but also by making and selling hand-made gifts. All of the items they use to make the gifts are donated, and 100% of the proceeds from the sales of these items go to funding the orphanages. She spoke to members about some of the ways in which they help these children, and we did a hands-on project to help her out- we cut fabric out using patterns for homemade crafted handbags and dolls for her group to sell.

We will be having a club fundraiser on June 30 at Hamburger Mary’s in Ybor City. Proceeds from the “Drag Queen” Bingo are used towards community projects.

Juniorette Woman’s Club of New TampaJuniorettes (age 12 - 18) meet on third Monday of the month August thru May. 6:30-8pm at New Tampa YMCA.

During the April meeting the girls worked on creating fun and decorative envelopes out of recycled calendar pictures to use to write and mail letters to veterans. They really turned out great!

The speaker was George Rodman, a 35 year veteran in law enforcement, George spoke to the girl on the subject of internet safety. Some of the information they may have heard before, however repeat, repeat, so it sticks. Much of what George had to say was new and opened their eyes to how dangerous the internet has become.

Women from New Tampa and Wesley Chapel are welcome at all clubs.

Brooke Adee is no longer a contestant on The Voice, however her voice carries

on. It was quite a journey over the last few years, leading her to the The Voice competition.

Brooke was not much into singing until the family went to see the Broadway production, Annie. Brooke, then 8 years old, liked the songs so much that she memorized them and sang them all the time. Her parents, who listened, as she sang, were impressed by her vocal talent; hitting the correct notes, all the time.

By 11, Brooke was in a Performing Arts school in Atlanta. She was also writing music, by the key, with no formal training. She wrote many

original songs and her producer loved her music. Though she had no real experience, the producer asked her to audition for an upcoming production. At that time, she got an excellent roll, She also started voice lessons at the Jan Smith Studio.

Her parents wanted to get Brooke in the Atlanta Workshop Players, unfortunately there was a two year wait. However, when they say her audition, they moved that two years to two weeks and wanted to sign Brooke on in acting.

Brooke’s mom, Teresa, was so blown away with how fast the opportunities were coming in and a bit distressed. With four children, a spouse who works full time and battling an illness, it was all very overwhelming for her. The family decided to take a break to settle down and live normally for a while.

When Brooke was 15, they were ready to promote her again. Jan Smith instantly tried to get her pushed through on The Voice, but it did not pan out. They would need to stand in the long lines outside, hoping for a chance to be heard.

The first season she tried out, she was not excepted. They gave her some key pointers to work on and asked her to come back next season. She did! Brooke and her mom both said that the whole experience was very well organized. With, over 40,000, eager people all wanting to be heard, they commented on how The Voice team was very kind, patient, caring, treated everyone with

respect, helped with suggestions for singers and helped with the feelings of rejection when someone were not selected. They were very impressed with the process from day one till she left. Nothing but good things to say.

Brooke is grateful for the opportunity she was given to be on The Voice and get all the way from 40,000 to top 20. She does not regret that she did not win and feels that she now has so many more opportunities because of her experience with The Voice.

Brooke has been a straight A student through all the travel, singing, training and auditions. She is looking to do movies and she and her mother are starting a non profit organization. Her favorite passion still, though, is writing music. She has

written hundreds of songs. I’m sure we will be seeing much more of Brooke Adee. The Voice was just the opening act.

Brooke recently got a bright yellow VW Beetle to drive around town. Wave “hello” when you see her! :)

LACROSSEIt’s been another exciting year for our WCAA Warriors teams as we end our spring recreational season. Boys and girls from U9 to U15 played teams all over the Tampa Bay area learning new and developing lacrosse skills.

This year, WCAA Lacrosse added a developmental program for beginners and younger players. Concentrating on learning the fundamental lacrosse skills, the boys and girls played scrimmage games against each other and the Warriors U9 team. This co-ed team has been a huge success and will be added to the summer lacrosse program.

At the high school level, the undefeated WCAA Girls’ and Pasco Boys’ teams are preparing to defend their 2014 Florida Gulf Coast Lacrosse League Champion titles. Play-offs began on April 25 at Wesley Chapel District Park.

Pasco Lions, competitive travel lacrosse begins in May. Boys U13, U15, U17 and the Girls’ High School team (rising 8th through rising 12th grades) travel throughout the state of Florida and Georgia competing in two to three day tournaments.

The U9 and U11 teams continue to hone their lacrosse skills

playing other teams in the Tampa Bay area. There are a few spots available on most teams. For more information contact: Boys - Todd Kinney ([email protected]); Girls – Naomi Friedrich ([email protected]); Developmental – Eric Rosario ([email protected]). Registration information and tournament venues can be found on our website at www.wcaasports.org/lacrosse.

Boy’s Pasco Warriors Lacrosse Finishes the Season Strong

Wesley Chapel Athletic Association (WCAA) had a tough decision at the beginning of the 2015 high school lacrosse season. With Wiregrass Ranch High School losing its coach, and Wesley Chapel High School lacking the number of players needed, it was decided to merge the 2 teams into the Pasco Warriors.

The team quickly fused and Coach Tom FitzSimons led the Varsity team to the #1 spot (16-1) going into the playoffs, as well as an undefeated JV season (9-0).

WCAA Developmental Lacrosse team.

The developmental team made tremendous strides this season. While bringing in over 30 players this season, the team developed fundamental skills in players from the ages of 5 to 10.

The WCAA developmental program will continue through the end of June. In July, WCAA will be running it’s beginner’s clinic series again during the summer and fall seasons. Registration is now open for boys 7 and under. Registration is also open for Girls 11 and under. For more information visit our website, www.wcaasports.org/lacrosseclinic

FLAG FOOTBALL WCAA Flag Football is pleased to announce that we are now offering co-ed flag football from U7 to High School. This is the first year we are offering a High School division in our league. We have a great program and look forward to seeing many of our players that aged out return to play in high school. All other divisions will return as well. For more information contact Pete Rygiel ([email protected])

SOCCERPresident’s Cup Championship

On the weekend of April 11-12, 2015 the U15 Girls White team from the Wesley Chapel Soccer Club participated in the Florida President’s Cup at the Lake Myrtle Sports Park in Auburndale. In this event Regional Cup championship teams competed against each other in a quest for The Florida President’s Cup. Under the leadership of Head Coach Daniel Coimbra and Assistant Coach Jeff Olsen this Wesley Chapel Flames soccer team has continued to reach new heights, and it became the first team from their club to capture a state championship.

The team will now represent the Wesley Chapel Soccer Club and the state of Florida at the Region III President’s Cup held in Lafayette, LA this June. Teams from 11 different states will compete for the chance to play in the National President’s Cup held in Kansas this July.

So, How can massage help you get your cortisol levels under control? “You’re less likely to have stress interfering with your

sleep” Dr. Talbott Says. “There are some good studies that show that massage can actually reduce some of the stress hormone exposure”

Joe Bob Smith, a staff member at the National Holistic Institute in Studio City, Calif., and a massage therapist, says much of the research on

massage isn’t detailed enough to explain the exact processes, but anecdotally, he sees the impact.

“People who have sleep disorders typically don’t get rested when they sleep,” Smith explains. During a massage they go into a deep state of relaxation, and rest, which can positively affect the body similar to sleep. Massage, he says, brings relaxation that’s otherwise missing in their lives.

“It’s essentially affecting the hormone levels,” Smith says. “Studies have shown that massage increases serotonin, which increases the melatonin and helps circadian rhythms to reset.”McNeill, who enjoys massages a couple times a month, notices the difference. “I think my body is much more in tune,” she says, adding that she often falls asleep on the table.

As the practice of massage has progressed, Smith says, more forms of massage have developed including hot stone massage, aromatherapy and cranial sacral. No matter the approach, the goal is improved health and wellness. “Pure relaxation massage has it benefits,” Smith Says. “And one of them is sleep.”

For 40 years the National PTA Reflections program has encouraged students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their talents through the Arts. Reflections is an annual program that encourages students’ artistic talents, offers the opportunity to showcase our school and our students, and demonstrate the importance of quality arts education.

In addition, the Reflections program offers students the opportunity to express themselves and receive positive recognition for their artistic efforts. Winning entries advanced to Pasco County competition. We had a total of 73 entries: 37 visual arts, 30 photography, 4 literature, 1 music, 1 film.

Todos los agentes independientes o no, se esfuerzan por proveer

al cliente un servicio ligado con lazos comunitarios. El agente independiente trabaja con varias compañías de seguros para ofrecerle la mejor cobertura al mejor precio. Como agente independiente, los conocimientos adquiridos al trabajar con los resultados de las empresas , permiten tener un enfoque consultivo.

Tener un agente independiente ofrece una vision de compras para una amplia gama de productos, tales como casas,arriendos, autos, negocios, vida, salud y seguro al inicio y periódicamente para mantener la casa actulizada para los arrendatarios. También permite a los clientes con muchos portafolios, tener un amplio conocimiento del mercado en un momento dado, basado en resultados reales.

Tan importante como la representación de muchas empresas, también es importante saber que los agentes independientes tienen la opción de no representar. Una agencia independiente examinará la información de la compañía de seguros tales como, estabilidad financiera, manejo de reclamos y servicio al cliente antes de escogerlos como una opción para sus clientes. Agencias de seguros cautivas por el contrario deben ofrecer sólo las empresas que son dirigidas por su compañía, y que puede limitar las opciones disponibles para los clientes.

Si está buscando un seguro comercial o personal, hay muchas herramientas de comparación precio online, buscando la cobertura adecuada para proteger su negocio, su patrimonio personal y su familia implica más consideración que sólo precio o lealtad a una empresa. Un asesoramiento imparcial no tiene precio. El método de la vieja escuela de llamar a muchas agencias de seguros para intentar conseguir la mejor cotización o empresa, no es propicio con el estilo de vida de hoy. Una llamada telefónica ahorra tiempo y dinero. Contratar un agente independiente para utilizar su experiencia al trabajar para usted puede ser su mejor plan cuando compra un seguro.

Rick Soriano decidió ser un agente de seguros independiente con treinta (30) años de experiencia,para servir mejor a sus clientes. Todo su personal con muchos años de experiencia trabajan de la misma manera en beneficio de sus clientes .Si desea que un agente este a su lado, lo primero y mas importante, es llamar o pasar por su oficina. Experimente la diferencia.

In preparation for Earth Day and Pasco County Cleanup, Rotarians of Wesley Chapel Sunrise cleaned up the trash on Wells Road. Helpers of all ages were present to give back to our community. Pictured is Rowan Heyman.

For 4 years now, members of the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel have traveled to Las Trojes, Honduras, to spend a week installing water filters, building latrines and teaching hygiene. Their continued work with Pure Water for the World, a Vermont based 501c3, changes communities and betters lives.

In total, 25 members from the club have traveled to Las Trojes. The club has really caught on to the goals/vision that PWW has…to prevent children from suffering from water borne diseases that cause pain and misery as a result of consuming contaminated water and improper hygiene habits. They do this by providing sustainable safe drinking water

filtration systems, latrines and hygiene education to families and communities in developing countries.

13 members of the club just returned, in late April, from their trip. For many of them it was their first time traveling to Honduras. “It truly changes your life and theirs.” says Eric Johnson from the club. “A simple water filter installation gives life to children!”

In all, the club has built 12 latrines and installed around 60 water filters since they began going to Honduras.The team is sponsored by local companies including, Brock Law, Cash for Gold, Central Bank, NYE Realty and Wesley Chapel Toyota/Honda.
