18th Annual Festivals of Speed

January 22, 2023car

We had a “revving good time” at the 18th Annual Festivals of Speed presented by Bert Smith Porsche on January 22 in beautiful Vinoy Park. This luxury car show was also supporting St. Petersburg’s own Friends of Strays Animal Shelter. Thanks to everyone who came by our booth to say hello, check out the cars, and enter to win great prizes. Injury law and board certified civil trial attorney Paul Cavonis shared his crowd-pleasing 2019 Ford GT (Gulf Heritage Edition) and 2006 Ford GT. Our Hot Wheels cars giveaway was a big hit with car enthusiasts of all ages.

Welcome to the Wild West

March 18, 2022

Giddy up, little doggies! The DHC/STC Legal Beagles brought home our first trophy this year from the 2022 Pinellas Park Firefighters Chili Blaze! Our western theme won 2nd place in the Best Decor category. We had a photo station with a wanted sign for little outlaws, saloon props, and chili crew gussied up in cowboy boots. We had a blazin’ good time serving up probate assistant April Ellison’s award-winning beef and pork chili. Our posse of Simone DeLoach, Angela Durham, April Ellison, Ashleigh Fisichella, Margaux Herodet, Alexa Kunzig, Emily Poole, Pattie Robinson, Sharon Touchton, and co-captains Joe Murphy and Kathy Carpenter served nearly 600 bowls of April’s chili! DHC was a lead sponsor of the event, which benefited the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Tampa Bay. These funds help those suffering from Muscular Dystrophy by providing medical equipment, treatments, and a summer camp for children. See the January–March 2021 issue of the Navigator for April’s recipe.

Hats on to The Arts

May 13, 2021

The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Collectors Circle hosted a fun-filled cocktail party at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club in celebration of the arts on Thursday, May 13. This sold-out event had a wide assortment of wonderful hats—some hats were created by the guests themselves or were commissioned by local artists. Congratulations to Attorney Rep DeLoach for winning the “Most Creative” hat category with his work of (metal) art by Frank Strunk III, entitled “Flight” (2004). The mechanical bird on the metal lampshade actually flaps its wings to signify flight! Director of Marketing Simone DeLoach recently joined the Board of Directors of the Collectors Circle and Co-Chaired the event with fellow board member and estate planning client, Keith Bucklew. This “friend-raiser” raised over $11,000 toward the Collectors Circle mission to enhance and preserve the permanent collection of the MFA through the acquisition, restoration and conservation of art.
