THREE ORGANIZATIONS SERVING OUR COMMUNITY
Organ donation is not something that our community openly discusses, yet we have the highest numbers on national transplant registries. Our Legacy, is an organ transplant organization working through Advent Health that provides information as well as the gift of life for persons in need. They are presenting their annual "Gift of Life" program Saturday, February 21st @ Patmos Chapel in Apopka. It's FREE, and everyone is welcome to enjoy music from Orlando's best entertainment while learning more about the need to donate. For more info www.ourlegacyfl.org Guardian Care Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has been providing services to seniors in our community since 1958. They were one of Orlando's early healthcare facilities serving the Black community during segregation. Today they house 99 beds for residents in need of long-term care. As our nation struggles through changes in our healthcare systems. Guardian Care remains steadfast in its mission to serve our seniors. They have a fundraising golf tournament March 2nd at Stoneybrook West Golf Course. To learn more about the facility or participate in the tournament call 407/295-5371 or visit www.guardiancarenursing.com The YMCA Teen Achievers program began in 1992 as a way to provide black and brown youth in our community with exposure to various careers and college. Today, with social media, mental health challenges and economic insecurity our teens struggle with, the Achievers program still exists to provide them with exposure to college or nontraditional careers. They operate out of Evans H.S. and will start their career clusters again soon. We also invite the community to sow into two middle schools about to go on a college tour in March through North Carolina. If you'd like to sponsor a student, it only costs $150 and you can make your check payable to OCPS and indicate either Carver or Apopka Middle School. If you'd like to expose a young person to your career, the Achievers program welcomes you at www.cfymca.org
PROTECTING THE PROMISE OF OUR COMMUNITIES
Our recorded conversation with Former Congresswoman Val Demings left us with several nuggets. She talked about how Florida is a testing ground for national policy debates. We discussed the importance of accountability and defining the issues that voters should be paying attention to. Demings reminded us that the President is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. Her response to what defines our 2026 voter issues was "affordability, taxes, and education.
