Cafe Amorama Review

One of my friends wrote this about the new Cafe Amorama in Clearwater:

Cafe Amorama is a new Latin bar that opened up in Clearwater just up the road from the Venue on Ulmerton. They play an excellent selection of music: salsa, merengue, bachata, cha cha. Lots of space to mingle, and fun and classy atmosphere.

Below is the map to their location:

An interesting fact about Tampa

Did you know, that in 1895, the number of cigar factories in Tampa numbered 120, empoying close to 5,000 workers?

These workers would produce an estimated 90 million cigars a year.

By 1900, Tampa would become the leading manufacturing city in the state of Florida.  The cigar factories would receive about 1,180 tons of Cuban tobacco and convert it into $10 million in cigar exports.

3 Kings Celebration in Ruskin this Saturday

For immediate release, January 3,2010
Contact person: Alayne Unterberger, 813.477.2882

Annual Three Kings Celebration to be Held at New Location in Ruskin, FL on SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 2011

Ruskin, FL –  Eleven years ago, immigrant farmworker families identified that the lack of strong cultural heritage events in the South County area was a threat to their children’s well-being.  Today, as we gear up for the tenth annual Three Kings’ Day celebration, we invite the press and public to witness the power of community-wide heritage sharing as a way to build strength in our community. Best of all, the children of these parents are helping out as volunteers!  Thanks to help from many individuals and organizations, the celebration will take place at Church of the Network of Ministers - Iglesia Ministerios la Red: 501 2nd St S.E Ruskin, FL from 1-4 PM, on Saturday, January 8. 2011.  

Garcia’s Bakery in Wimauma is donating the traditional ROSCA, a special bread made only for Epiphany, which will be distributed at the event by our own Three Kings (Baltazar, Melchor and Gaspar). Toys were donated by many organizations, including: the Metropolitan Ministries, Mise En Place (MaryAnn Ferenc), and the Ronald McDonald House.  Individual donors include: Francisco Coll, Attorney, Ivonne Alvarez, Kathy Griffin and many more anonymous donors!  

The Florida Institute for Community Studies (FICS) facilitates these events as part of our Strategic Plan for South County, however, the event is planned and made possible by the South County FICS Community Advisors Project of and our partners at Iglesia Ministerios, Iglesia de Dios Elim, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church and Ronald McDonald House.

We are still taking donations!  We would be very grateful for any donations of toys, especially educational games, jewelry making kits, soccer balls, footballs and/or nicer clothing.  Donations are tax deductible to FICS and can be dropped off at our FICS Multicultural Family Center @ 6704 Hanley Road, Tampa FL  33634 or picked up by calling 813.249.8100.

Join us!  FICS partners with communities to help them achieve their goals through research, service, education and training.  Join our cause on Facebook or by volunteering: www.ficsinc.org.
