Businesses have not had it easy for the last few months, and that is especially true for our local restaurants. Social distancing guidelines do not allow for a full house; some folks are still a bit hesitant about venturing out, and all that does not make being in business any easier. Wednesday is not an “open” day for The Seineyard at Wildwood, so we are especially thankful to Sam and Starr Dunlap and Lisa Ponder for helping us ease back into our schedule, starting with our June luncheon. To make everyone feel more comfortable and to stay within guidelines, our check in crew and staff wore masks, drinks were poured, and food was served from the buffet line, one table up at a time. Since we missed out on some get togethers we announced new members for March through May as TCC Foundation, Mack’s Country Meats, Shepherds Insurance and Beth Cichetti – Beth Kirkland Consulting. Julie Dennis with OVID Solutions personally invited our guests to the after - hours mixer held at Shepard Accounting June 25, from 5:30-7:30pm. OVID Solutions is a little over a year old now but Julie has lived in Wakulla for over 15 years and helps communities with community and economic development, grant management and disaster recovery. One of our guests was Kyndra Light who is looking at Wakulla as a possible location for her business. Heather Ibarra brought her guest Richard Carraway – co - owner of Tan Booteez. Lynda Kinsey with Wakulla News introduced their new temporary reporter Noah Hertz who previously interned at WFSU. Jeanie Booth, previously manager at our local Maurices, now center manager for the Crawfordville CareerSource office reminded everyone that CareerSource is the largest job bank in Florida. She mentioned they also help individuals with unemployment claims and re-employment, currently by appointment only. Heather Ibarra announced AAA Group is open for business in person and told us to look forward to a new product in July. Lynda Kinsey announced special pricing advertising through July. The $45 cash winner, Doug Gove with Florida Business Products, donated the winnings back to Paws of Wakulla, Inc for their local programs. People love winning prizes, but our members also love donating to the gift drawings, so we were especially thrilled to have 16 give – aways even though we had a smaller crowd. Many thanks for your donations go to: Cook Insurance; Petra Shuff; Riverside Café; Art by Cheryl Swift; Capital City Bank; Smith, Thompson, Shaw, and Minacci, Colón & Power, P.A.; Maurices; The Wakulla News and The Wakulla Neighbor; Revell Electric and Automated Access Systems, Shepard Accounting and Tax Service; American Inspections!
