From the first moment that peo-ple talk on the phone to Office Man-ager Maria at Donna’s CleaningAngels, they realize this is no ordi-nary cleaning service. Professional,knowledgeable and personable,Maria is ready to answer any ques-tions you may have about Donna’sCleaning Angels and the stellarcleaning services that have built thecompany into the success that it istoday. Maria is the “right hand” ofowner Donna Ferrante’s, whosecommitment to excellence in everyaspect of her business has broughther company to a new pinnacle ofsuccess: To celebrate the 25th An-niversary, the company is launching afleet of Donna’s Cleaning Angels ve-hicles.

Wow! 25 Years Strong! “I can’t believe 25 years have

gone by,” says Donna. “This took alot of dedication…tremendous dedi-cation.” She adds, “I’ve seen a lot ofcleaning services come and go, but

we are here for the long term. Nowwe are bigger and better than ever.Twenty-five years later, we have 25employees and are the number onecleaning service in Tampa Bay. I amso excited I still have a lot of thesame customers for over 20 years!”

One long time client called tocongratulate Donna and said, “Youand your business are not gettingolder, you’re only getting better.”

Donna Ferrante is a woman sodedicated to her clients, her employ-ees, and her company that she never

stops trying to improve. Eventhough the stellar residential cleaningservices provided by Donna’s Clean-ing Angels is what has built the com-pany, Donna continues to bringmore to the table for her customers,such as expanded services includingcarpet, tile and grout cleaning.

Donna’s Cleaning Angels Celebrates 25 Years of Brilliant Success

“In 25 years, there has been alot of growth. We are extremely wellknown, and receive a tremendousamount of referrals. In order to givethe customer an accurate time andpricing on their home we offer a freeestimate.” When Donna meets a po-tential new client for the estimate,she explains the detailed cleaningthat her service provides. “Everyhouse is different,” says Donna.Maria adds, “Customers love howmuch time Donna takes to meet,greet and explain everything we haveto offer them in person. We arebranching out more into commercialcleaning. Such as, doctors’ and realestate offices, insurances agencies andother small businesses.”

Always a hard worker, a strongwork ethic runs in her blood fromher Italian and French Canadianbackground, as her family in NewHampshire has owned an Italianrestaurant in the mountains for al-most 70 years now. Carrying on afamily legacy of work and success hasalways been important to Donna andwhen she first started her business,her son, then 11, and her 8-year-olddaughter followed her example andhelped their mom by putting fliers

on cars at Sundayservices.

Reflectingon her com-pany’s growth,25 years of hardwork and successand the additionof a fleet ofDonna’s Clean-ing Angels vehi-cles, Donnashares, “Thededication andsuccess in mycleaning businessis due to thecloseness of mywonderful family.I am proud andhonored to saythat I am follow-ing in the footsteps of my parentsand grandparents. We know how tocook, clean and we give 100 percentto the business. My only regret isthat my mother, father and grand-mother aren’t here alive to see all ofthis, but I know in my heart thatthey are seeing it even though theycan’t be here with me.”

Licensed – Bonded – InsuredPlus Workman’s Comp onAll Employees

What sets Donna’s Cleaning An-gels apart is the fact that Donna hascreated a company that is fully li-censed, bonded and insured, and eachclient can expect to have a team ofDonna’s Cleaning Angels at theirdoor each time that they have service.

Donna says, “Next to your doc-tor, there’s nothing more personalthan your cleaning service, which iswhy we take so many steps to protectyou and make you feel at ease withour service. My clients don’t have toworry because I’ve done the home-work and I carry the liability.”

Donna’s Cleaning Angels alwayswork as a team; the work gets donefaster with two and it provides a levelof safety and security for everyone.The teams are always presentable andfriendly, wear uniforms with non-slipshoes, and come in with a large canvaskit containing all of their high qualitycleaning supplies. What’s more, everyemployee that Donna hires is back-ground checked, drug free and cov-ered by workman’s compensation.This is part of the reason whyDonna’s Cleaning Angels is the firstchoice of so many people in our area.

“It’s important to me to hirepeople who have a clean background,and who are polite, trustworthy anddependable,” says Donna. “As a re-sult, I can be very picky about who Ihire.” She adds, “Some employeeshave come here that previouslyworked for other cleaning services,and they are amazed at the way ourtraining procedures are. They statedthat their previous employers madethem watch a video and then sent

them off the very next day to clean,unsupervised. Our Angels have on-the-job training for over a month,with a field manager, before they areconsidered a ‘true cleaning angel.’ Ittakes time and effort to make sure anemployee is 100 percent up toour cleaning standards. Detailedcleaning is what we are known for.Not just a run-through, wipe-down.”

To ensure that every client ishappy after each cleaning, Donna of-fers comment cards, regularly checksin with her clients, and has regularmeetings with her staff.

Donna is very involved in ourcommunity, and after doing this for25 years she has met a lot of peopleand is proud to support other localbusinesses and restaurants. Togetherwith her partner, Steve, she frequentlydines at places like Central ParkRestaurant in New Port Richey andChristo’s Restaurant at MitchellRanch Plaza in Trinity. She says,“We’ve found that we have some ofthe same customers,” adding, “Weagree that we are fortunate to adver-tise in Neighborhood News & Lifestylesand we absolutely love the staff there.In fact, people have been reading myarticles in the Neighborhood News forso many years that new clients willgreet me like they’ve known me foryears.”

Reflecting, Donna says, “At theend of the day I thank God for myblessings – the great people who workfor me, a great business, my health,my home, my loved ones and my fam-ily. God bless you all.”

Other than being much moreconvenient than traditional groomingvisits, there are many reasons goingmobile is a good choice for your dog.For one, you don’t have to drive yourdog anywhere – so no chance of car-

sickness, no hassle with traffic whileyou drop off and then pick up yourdog, no hair to vacuum up later, noneof that! Karen comes right to yourdoor, so you can easily walk your dogout to the grooming van in yourdriveway and continue on with yourday.

Karen provides a stress-free envi-ronment for your dog, too. Goin’ tothe Dogs Mobile Grooming is cage-free and Karen hand-dries each dog.Cage dryers can stress dogs out espe-cially if they are at a big groomingshop where nervous barking dogs arecaged waiting to be groomed orpicked up.

Mark your calendars, and spendthe morning with The ToyMakers ofEast Lake on Saturday, November7th, for they will be hosting an OpenHouse and Silent Auction at the EastLake United Methodist Church justoff of East Lake Road. Free and opento the public, please feel free to bringthe entire family, including the littleones who will receive one of the Toy-Makers famous handmade toys! TheOpen House includes a tour of theirrecently expanded toy making work-shop, which is usually closed to thepublic, as well as an opportunity toget to know the many amazing volun-teers who have turned their handi-work into good works. Everyone willenjoy the silent auction, which will in-clude everything from one-of-a-kind,handmade items, to gift certificates tolocal businesses and tickets to Florida

attractions! It’s also the perfect placeto check off some of the items onyour Christmas list, because by partic-ipating in this awesome auction,you’re giving back to a non-profit or-ganization whose “soul” purpose is togive to the children in our commu-nity.

ToyMakers had humble begin-nings, as most matters of the heartdo, and was started by a group ofpeople in Pasco County who madesimple wooden toys out of theirgarages and gave them to local agen-cies and hospitals, with the purpose ofhelping children who could use asmile.

In 2007, ToyMakers of Eastlakewas founded as an outreach programby The East Lake United MethodistChurch, who saw the light and thelove in the mission, and donated somespace adjacent to the church so thatthese volunteers could have a place to

call their own. Since 1982,

more than400,000 toys havebeen delivered tolocal children inneed in Pinellas,Pasco, Hillsbor-ough, and evenAlachua counties.Delivering to hos-pitals such as AllChildren’s Hospi-tal, Tampa Gen-eral, Shriner’sHospital inTampa, andRonald McDonaldHouses, just toname a few, thesetoys have stories totell, and a dozenkind hands havehelped each toy find its special child.Reaching far beyond Florida, toyshave been delivered to children as faraway as Mexico, the Caribbean andSouth America in the aftermath ofdisasters, and are often delivered tolocal fire departments and first re-sponders, who really appreciate hav-

ing something to give to childrenwhen they are in a crisis.

Erica Wiedemann recently said,“I got a tour of the ToyMakers ofEastlake’s workshop today…So manyvolunteers work to make and paintthe great wooden toys. I thank theToyMakers for supporting The Havenof RCS and making the children

Come Join the fun at TheToyMakers of East Lake’s

happy. Also, there are fabulous volun-teers who remake bikes for childrenand adults.”

A third ministry is their bicycleprogram. ToyMakers of East Lake ac-cepts used bicycles and refurbishesthem! Once the bicycles are lovinglyfixed, they are given to people inneed- both children and adults! Work-ing with local schools and other chari-table organizations such as agenciesassisting homeless working adults,they even help send used and refur-bished bicycles to Haiti and otherareas in need after a crisis, so thatthose people can get work and pro-vide for their families.

Current President of the Toy-Makers of East Lake Board, BobHelms, is like many of the volunteerswho thought they’d come by one Sat-urday a month, but fell in love withthe mission, and in doing so, his wife,Janet, joined the cause as well! Todaythey are both on the Board, hoping tohelp lead ToyMakers of East Lake tohelp even more people. By raisingawareness for their mission, and bytaking donations from local businessesfor their upcoming silent auction, theHelms and the other volunteers atThe ToyMakers of East Lake have onegoal: To bring smiles to children.

When you come to the Open

House and Silent Auction, on themorning of November 7th, you’llhave the opportunity to see the newaddition to their shop! Recently ex-panded to their many volunteers, thecommunity came together beautifullyto help ToyMakers build the addi-tional space they needed. Theyneeded it because they’ve been superbusy! Bob says, “The Toymakers ofEast Lake organization now has over200 volunteers and made over 10,000toys just last year.”

Volunteer! You Can Make ToysToo!

Over the years, men and womenof all ages have enjoyed volunteeringat ToyMakers of East Lake. While themachinery that has been donated overthe years by volunteers and local or-ganizations is quite impressive, youdon’t have to know how to operatecomplicated machinery to help makewooden cars, helicopters, puzzles, air-planes, walking toys and more.

First: These aren’t just toys.These are handmade, sanded to per-fection with the purpose of protectinglittle fingers. These are “everything isgoing to be ok” toys that are lovinglypainted by volunteers like you and Iwho want nothing more than to com-fort a child. These are what the doc-

tors, nurses, officers and first respon-ders give to children who are scaredor sad. And may I add, that they areabsolutely beautiful toys. Made withlove and hand-delivered to local hos-pitals and first responders in smallbatches, this non-profit organizationhas created something that hastouched the lives of hundreds andhundreds in our area by simply doingwhat they love to do.

Experienced and knowledgeablein their craft, ToyMakers has learnedhow to take many things into consid-eration, from making sure that theyare painted with lead-free paint (do-nated by Sherwin Williams), to mak-ing sure there aren’t any small parts,rough parts or parts that can’t bewashed! Did you know that plush ani-mals cannot be given to children atmany hospitals because they cannotbe easily sanitized? The toys that Toy-Makers provide, is an answer to somany prayers, and many people treas-ure their toys for years and years.

Bob says, “Toy Makers are peo-ple like you and me! You don’t haveto be able to work complicated sawsto be a volunteer here. We have onelady who really enjoys tracing patternsonto the wood, and we have otherladies who love to paint daisies on theDaisy cars.” He adds, “Whatever youcan do, there’s a way you can help!”

If you’d like to volunteer, it’seasy! You can check out their web-site, or email them! They often havenew volunteer opportunities on Satur-day mornings at the shop. Whenyou’re there, you’ll hear many of thevolunteers talk about how being aToyMaker has changed their lives, yousee, for some this mission has givenpeople a new purpose! For some, ithas been having a renewed purposeafter retirement, while for others ithas been finding a whole group offriends they didn’t know they werethere waiting to meet them.

Additionally, ToyMakers of EastLake is proud to partner with studentswho are part of the Florida BrightFutures Scholarship Program, whichprovides scholarship opportunities forstudents in our area who have verybright futures, but need help finan-cially. These students need volunteerhours as part of the program, andmany of the students who volunteerfor ToyMakers of East Lake havefound themselves coming back oncetheir volunteer requirements havebeen met! They become volunteersfor the love of helping others insteadof just for credit!

Jim Dyer put it best when he re-cently said, “Great people with a greatmission!”

Under Armour Co-Ed Flag Football LeagueBeginning this winter in Tampa is

a nationwide co-ed flag football leaguesponsored by Under Armour andBrothers In Arms Foundation. Theflag football league was created to pro-mote a competitive, confidence-build-ing, non-contact football experiencefor all skill levels. In charge of theTampa chapter is John Kaleo, formerTampa Bay Storm quarterback andowner of one of the top quarterbackacademies in the country (John KaleoQB Academy). John says, “Unlikeother flag football leagues, what mademe gravitate to Under Armour was theformat we are using; a 7 on 7 structuredesigned to delop each player’s skills.This means there is no pass rush andjust a sack count, which allows the QBto set his feet and deliver the ball prop-erly while receivers and defenders candevelop the timing needed in the pass-ing game. We also transition the kidsfrom the 6 on 6 format into the highschool 7 on 7 game through grade lev-els, so the 7th-8th graders will playunder the HS 7 on 7 rules.” Whenasked what he enjoys most about thisleague John said, “I enjoy watchingthe development of our youth in theathletic arena as they learn to compete

while still showing sportsmanship. Wealso want to bring back the honoringof our Champions and rewarding themwith medals and trophies, instead ofeveryone getting a medal for participa-tion. The other thing that is neat aboutour league is we play our games on Fri-day nights so we have food vendorsand music present for our families.This creates a fun atmosphere foreveryone.” With most leagues runningon weekends I’m sure parents will behappy with the Friday night scheduleand keeping the rest of the weekendopen for any other family activities.

The league will consist of thesecore values and principles:• Competitive Co-ed league for gradesK-8th • 6v6 format with sack count• HS 7v7 format for grades 7th-8th• 7 weeks of Games plus Playoffs • 9 players per team so everyone plays• “Friend/Team” request • Online shopping for discountedUnder Armour apparel • Food & Entertainment for Families

Proceeds will go to the BrothersIn Arms Foundation, which honorsfallen soldiers and provides funding as-

sistance to existing organizations,where the need is significant, with anemphasis on educational opportunitiesand financial assistance for servicemembers, heroic community servants,

and their families. For more information or to registerfor the league please go towww.uaflag.com. The season runsfrom December through February.

Even students with peanut allergiescan feel safe at Excel Creative Learn-ing Academy, since it is 100% peanutfree. The staff is selected for educa-tional background, experience andtraining, and all are backgroundchecked, which is a great comfort toparents.

While I visited the campus Inoticed that students learn throughhands-on projects in their interactive,enriching classrooms. Teachers usestate-approved Creative Curriculumand SMART Board technology tohelp each child’s education and char-acter development.

Curriculum Designed to Engage,Enrich & Empower

Infants as young as six weekscan begin their fulltime care at ExcelCreative Learning Academy, but withonly eight children in the class withtwo teachers, there often is a waitinglist for these coveted spots. Once thechildren are in their toddler years, thestaff works with parents as they seechildren are ready to move up to aclass that is developmentally appropri-ate. The younger two-year-old class,

called “Investigators,” has two teach-ers for 12 students and the older two-year-olds called “Adventurers” havetwo teachers for 18 students; while thethree-year-old “Voyagers” class hastwo teachers with a maximum of 20students. Children in the Investiga-tors, Adventurers and Voyagers classeshave the option to attend Tuesdaysand Thursdays (two days as week),Monday, Wednesday and Friday (threedays a week), or full time (five days aweek).

In ECLA’s four-year-old class, the“Innovators,” the students are oftenfound learning in small group rota-tions, taking virtual field trips on theclass SMART Board which engages vi-sual, auditory and kinesthetic learners,and interacting with circle time activi-ties. A teacher with a bachelor degreein Early Childhood Education teachesthe VPK class. Erika says, “There’s afocus on developmentally appropriateearly literacy and math skills in ourfour-year-old class. Our job is to getthem ready for kindergarten.” VPKstudents can attend half-day, 9:30 a.m.until 12:30 p.m., or the Extended Dayhours from 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m.

Excel Creative Learning Acad-emy’s teachers have been trained on

the Souns letter sound curriculum,which starts in the infants’ roomwhere children learn letter soundsincidentally as they learn the namesof everyday objects. As the childrenprogress, they start putting the largefigured letters together on interactivemats to create words phonetically.The Souns curriculum at ECLAprovides an authentic letter and sound

connection for young learners todevelop their literacy.

ECLA Keeps Parents Informed Excel Creative Learning Acad-

emy believes that developing and en-couraging partnerships with families isan essential part of their success.Daily notes go home with children,which include sleep habits, what they

ate, and other notes. Another wayECLA quickly communicates withparents is through notes that are onthe small computer touch screens thatfamilies use to check their child in andout each day, as well as monthlynewsletters. Parents also can use thecomputer touch screens to run their

credit card for a conven-ient paying option. Digi-tal daily notes are beingpiloted by the VPK class,which allows parents tolearn through email or aphone app about theirchild’s day. Studentportfolios are now digi-tal, too, so their growthcan easily be monitored.Parent and teacher com-munication is encour-aged through email; soall teachers have a workemail address where par-ents can contact themwith questions, concernsor compliments.

Three and four-year-olds take home learningpackets that help keepparents aware of whatsight words the childrenare working on, and it

also includes an activity to be com-pleted each week with their familythat reviews what has been learned.These types of family connections,homework, and daily notes help par-ents feel connected to their little one’sday while away from you.

Engaging & Enriching OutsidePlay

ECLA’s facility has a beautifuloutside play area with a drinking foun-tain and shade sails to lower the tem-perature on warm days. Three raisedgardens provide the students withlearning opportunities as they growvegetables, herbs, and watchchrysalises morph into butterflies inthe butterfly garden. For safest play-time, one group of children at a timeis allowed to use the private play-ground, and even the younger chil-dren get outside time through strollerwalks starting at six months old.

Parent Kim Stawecki says,“Enrolling our children in Excel isone of the best parental decisions thatmy husband and I have made. As aworking parent, I felt good knowingthat my children were spending theirdays with you [Erika] and your staff.”

During my visit at Excel CreativeLearning Academy, the children wereactively involved in age-appropriateactivities, and were having a greattime! The facility was very cleanvvand engaging, but also secure.Excel Creative Learning Academy’sstudents are happy and seem to bethriving in a school designed toengage, enrich and empower.

Excel Creative Learning Acad-emy is located in Trinity at theMedical Arts Building on theMedical Center of Trinity Campus,9332 SR 54, Suite 204. ECLA isopen Mon.–Fri., 6:30 a.m.–6:30p.m. For more information aboutECLA’s programs, including theParents Night Out and Parents DayOut, call (727) 372-4977, log on toExcelCreativeLearningAcademy.com,or visit their Facebook page.

healthcare insurance, Dr. Machhar isthe doctor for you. While partneringwith one, specific insurance providermay seem unique, it really gives Dr.Machhar the opportunity to limit hispractice to the amount of people thathe knows he can give his all to. As aresult, patients receive the time withthe doctor that they deserve, and pa-tient visits aren’t limited to a certainamount of minutes or to a certaincode. Instead, patients receive as muchtime with the doctor as they trulyneed.

Dr. Machhar says, “It makes it alot easier to receive care because weknow the network so well and we’veestablished relationships with the doc-tors that we know to be excellentproviders.”

Specializing in caring for theolder generation, Dr. Machhar is veryexperienced at treating a variety ofmedical conditions that they oftenface, such as diabetes, cardiology re-lated concerns, osteoporosis, lung dis-ease, high blood pressure, arthritis,and more. Dr. Machhar is said to bethorough and experienced without

being an alarmist. Listening to his pa-tients’ concerns, he doesn’t send peo-ple for tests they don’t need, or makepeople wait needlessly for results. He’svery considerate of his patients.

That said, Dr. Machhar is verydiligent about offering screenings forskin, colon, prostate and breast cancer,as well as computerized testing foremphysema and the other smoking-re-lated and lung disease issues that somany older people face today.

A patient named Leonard, said, “Iam not a young puppy. In my youngeryears I used to move to a new cityevery few years for business. Andtherefore have had a lot of doctorsduring my life. Dr. Machhar has beenmy doctor for about the past 8 yearsnow. He has provided the best medicalexperiences that I have ever had with adoctor. Last year I moved over anhour away from his office. I am so im-pressed with him that even with a 3-hour round trip drive to see him, I stilluse him as my doctor. I would notconsider going to any other doctoreven though they would be closer andmore convenient. He treats me like agood friend not like a number out ofall his patients. After he has finishedwith any medical exam or treatmentshe spends the next 5 or 10 minutes

just sitting with me and talking withme. He is never in a rush. I reallyenjoy him. His medical diagnosis ofany problem that I have had was spoton. He has so much experience thathis recommended treatments have al-ways been right on the money. I havenever waited more than 10 minutes inhis waiting room. Everyone at his of-fice is so friendly.”

Patient, Hal Dendy, said, “Mywife, Judi, and I have been patients ofDr. Machhar for many years and wehave the greatest respect for him. Dr.Machhar is very caring and listens toour physical and emotional problems.He is exceptional in understandingand very compassionate to our needs.Dr. Machhar’s wife is very understand-ing to our Humana needs and is veryhelpful to us in obtaining the neces-

sary referrals that we may require.”If you are a Humana member

that is looking for a physician they cantrust, look no further than Dr. PrakashMachhar. A Board Certified medicaldoctor with more than 25 years ofcredibility and experience, Dr. Mach-har and his staff are ready to help youfeel your best and help you live a long,healthy life.
