Temple Terrace Chamber Spotlight Blog 1
This is the first Temple Terrace Chamber Spotlight blog, where we will be writing about praise worthy people and businesses. Our first Johnny-on-the-spot is a solid gold Marine whose life is now dedicated to health science and compassionate care to those in need.
Anthony DeSantis served four years as an Infantry Officer with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. DeSantis has had a worldwide journey witnessing poverty, disease, and socio-economic disparities in Fallujah, Iraq which ultimately inspired him to help rebuild the city and alleviate those in need to the best of his ability.
After fulfilling his active service, Anthony returned to school to finish a master's degree in Biomedical Science at the University of South Florida. Now he is pursuing a Medical Degree with a concentration in Health Systems Engineering.
Anthony will be in attendance at the Veteran's Day Celebration event, sponsored by the Greater Temple Terrace Chamber on November 11, 2022 at 3p.m. The Lightfoot Center, 10901 N. 56th St. Be there to show support to all those who have served our country, including Anthony DaSantis will be using real life knowledge and experience to guide him on his way to becoming an amazing healthcare provider.
New Burger King in Temple Terrace
TEMPLE TERRACE, FLA., – October 8, 2013 – The Greater Temple Terrace area will have a new Burger King location. The groundbreaking ceremony of the new Burger King location will be 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2013, located at 8755 N. 56th St.
The new Burger King building is unlike any other Burger King because it will debut trellis window canopies, Spanish-style parapets, a cedar arbor, a decorative arch doorway, and other architectural details. The building will be 3,104-sq.-ft.
The owner and CEO Daniel Fitzpatrick of Quality Dining Inc., used the Mediterranean-Revival of Temple Terrace's downtown redevelopment as inspiration to develop the new Burger King location.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Mayor Frank Chillura and Quality Dining's top officials will be there. Construction of the new location will begin immediately and take about 60 days to build.

Forgotten American Heroes
As Americans we wear red, white, and blue proudly. We sing, "Let freedom ring!", without having experienced the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. It is easy to enjoy our well-fought for freedom through the comfort and solace of our own homes, many times forgetting that those who paid the ultimate sacrifice are without homes or solace. Liberty Manor, located at 10015 N. 9th St. Tampa, Fl 33612, provides these homeless veterans with shelter. Currently, the home houses about 20 Vets, many of them suffering from combat-related ailments/injuries. All those who care for these heroes donate their time to insure the best for our vets. However, Liberty Manor's veterans are still without solace. Liberty Manor is in dire need of new AC equipment for their property. $12,000 is needed from the community to help our heroes and bring comfort into Liberty Manor. These men and women have fought for us with their lives; we can fight to bring them comfort in their living situation. Please let us continue to wear our colors proudly knowing that we are doing all we can to give back. All donations and cheerful giving is appreciated. You may send checks to Liberty Manor at 10015 N. 9th St. Tampa, Fl 33612. You may also contact David Long of Business Ink Printing at (813) 988-4656 or email David at david@businessinkprinting.com for more information and questions.

The Importance of Social Networking
Social networking is everywhere. With sites such as Facebook and Twitter, one can keep in touch with friends and family from all areas. These sites are not just important for personal lives; in fact, they can be beneficial in the work place too.
According to the Fortune 500, Twitter is the number one social media outlet for top companies. While you can only write 140 characters per tweet, the advantages are endless. Twitter allows for quick communication and loads of information at our fingertips. Twitter's search feature allows followers to find people, information, and conversations that are relevant to their business. Simply add a hashtag to your tweet, and potential customers could come across your site.
Another widely used form of social networking is Facebook, with over one billion active users, it is no wonder companies flock toward this social media outlet. Facebook is more personal, allowing businesses to connect with customers more freely through pages, posts, and messages. Additionally, businesses can purchase ad space that allows for targeted demographics, thus finding potential new clients. Similar to Twitter, Facebook has search features that allow businesses to connect with their community, customers, and business partners.
Growing in popularity in the social networking realm are picture-based sites included Instagram and Pinterest. Instagram is a program that allows for users to share pictures and write captions underneath, adding hashtags to make their picture searchable. Additionally, users can like and comment on photos of others, as well as follow users with like interests. Pinterest works in much the same way. Users can like, comment, and 'pin' pictures. Businesses can add their own photos to the site, in which potential new clients can find their products with simple word searches.
With so much social networking options, which will you choose?

Giving back – Good for the heart and business?
Doing a good deed can go a long way. Corporate philanthropy can range from giving a non-profit organization a financial contribution to organizing an office community service day. However, the benefits can be greater than the warm feeling of knowing that you are doing your civic duties.
Build Your Team!
What better team building activity is there than giving back to the community? It is always a benefit to give employees a chance to get know each other better beyond the scopes of everyday work tasks. You might even experience of boost of morale in the workplace!
New Employment Opportunities!
Many candidates look for specific qualities when looking for employment. Doing community service may just give your company the edge it needs to attract potential candidates. Companies that give employees an option to volunteer during the work day demonstrate how important philanthropy is to them. Going to work and having a chance to give back to the community is the best of both worlds!
Look Good While Doing Good!
The community will develop a positive impression of a company that is contributing to it. Make sure the philanthropic efforts are done with sincere intentions to enhance the community. Community members will know if the motive is self-serving.
Community service can be good for business when it is done right. Get out of the office and give back!
