By Gary Nager of the Wesley Chapel Neighborhood News “It’s the best-attended ribbon cutting I’ve been to,” said one Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber Board member who attended our ribbon cutting event at our new office (in the Brookside Professional Park on S.R. 54) and the party to celebrate my 20 years as the owner and editor of the New Tampa & Wesley Chapel Neighborhood News on March 6. Somewhere between 100-150 people took part in the festivities and I was thrilled that so many of them decided to record messages in Milorian Studios, the impressive TV studio on the first floor of the building of which we’re now the second floor occupants.

Mayoral candidates take bribes, give back to charity! By Sherri Lonon of The Laker/Lutz News

It’s not every day that politicians give kickbacks from their campaign coffers rather than get them from shady types hoping to get a favor or two during a victor’s time in office. That was exactly the case, however, Nov. 20 when the two candidates in the Wesley Chapel Honorary Mayor’s Race doled out donations to three local charities. While the candidates did, in fact, buy their way into the positions they’ll assume on Jan. 1, there wasn’t anything “shady” going on.

The honorary mayor’s race is staged annually by the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce as a way to raise awareness about the organization and its members while garnering money for its efforts and charities in the community. Candidates in the highly unofficial event buy their way into office by earning “votes,” which are actually cash donations, similar to the annual Lutz Guv’na race. A portion of the money they raise in the mayoral race goes back to charities of their choosing.

The LOL Party Shop is a family owned community based party supply store in Lutz owned by Bruce and Cheryl Friesen. They just opened this month and are exciting about serving the Central Pasco Community. They have birthday party supplies, baby shower supplies, theme party supplies, holiday décor and lot's of balloons all at Great Prices! If you are planning a gathering, come on in and see what they have to offer.
