The Epilepsy Foundation of Florida (EFOF) leads the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome challenges created by epilepsy. EFOF was established in 1971 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3). EFOF is the principal agency for epilepsy programs and services sponsored by the State of Florida, servicing the estimated 400,000 Floridians who suffer from the condition. It is the sole licensee and affiliate in the state of the National Epilepsy Foundation®, which has led the fight against epilepsy since 1968. EFOF serves as the lead advocate for the rights and needs of people with epilepsy and seizures at the local, county and state level.
The Foundation provides many valuable services to individuals and their families, regardless of their financial situation, including:

Support Groups

Living with epilepsy is easier when you can share with others who are in a similar situation. EFOF offers a variety of support group meetings on a monthly basis for adults and youth living with epilepsy and parents of children living with epilepsy. We also offer online support group platforms through Facebook.

Information-and-Referrals

About Roly Poly

What’s the Story

In 1996 the first Roly Poly Sandwich Shop opened for business in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, Georgia. Company founders Linda Wolf and Julie Reid had been rolling sandwiches in their shops in New Canaan, Connecticut (‘86) and in Key West, Florida (‘96) before settling on Atlanta to officially begin building their franchise system. Today, there are over 125 Roly Poly Sandwich Shops throughout 24 states.

What’s the reason for this incredible growth? In a word, TASTE! It’s as simple as that. The varieties of flavors that go into Roly Poly sandwiches are delicious, unique and original. Where else can you find fresh basil chicken salad rolled with crunchy cashews, green leaf lettuce, Roma plum tomatoes, fresh sliced avocado, alfalfa sprouts and spicy Thai hot sauce all rolled in a fresh tortilla? The #30, Basil Cashew Chicken is just one of 50 sandwich selections to choose from. Sandwich recipes developed by Linda and Julie over the past 30 years include fresh herbs and top quality ingredients in combinations that you just have to taste to believe! Mango Chutney, Red Pepper Hummus, Sundried Tomatoes, Artichoke Hearts, and Fresh Sliced Avocados are standard ingredients for all you foodies out there. Vegetarians, we’ve set you up! 12 selections, just for you. If its lean sliced meats and melted cheeses in toasty tortillas that you like. . we’ve got those too!

Whatever Your Taste… We’ve Got Your #

We really do have something for everyone! We’ve added Specialty Salads and Soups. Reduced fat cheeses, dressings and spreads add an even lighter dimension to our menu. Not just delicious, but healthy and hearty too. We’re not just the original rolled sandwich, we’re the original healthy sandwich too!

Our sandwiches and a tasty cup of soup make the perfect All American lunch or light dinner! Roasted Garlic Tomato, Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle, Harvest Mushroom and Broccoli and Cheddar are just a few of our soup varieties to choose from.

Women In Technology – Guests: Jo Lynn Barnicoat / Clever Ogre, Lindsay Ryman / Greater Pensacola Chamber & Innovation Coast

As top-level leaders, the women (who will be part of this show) may not seem like the most representative sample – but we should view them as symbolic, and as part of the vanguard. For each one of them, there are legions of women in less-prominent and lower-level roles and organizations who are forging careers as women in technology. And most of them are doing so without degrees in computer science, without being coders, and without creating or working for tech start-ups. That’s not to say there isn’t still disparity in technology-related fields, roles and firms – or the need to do more to create opportunities for women, as well as better gender balance and equity – but the pursuit of those goals may be better served by a broader point of view.–September 30, 2014 Courtney Hunt

Add some Caribbean spice to your life with Doc’s Jamaican Sauces, mon!

 

 

JERK SAUCE

Jerk rubs and sauces have been used for centuries in the Caribbean and were first developed by the Arawac Indians as a method of preserving and cooking meats, poultry and fish. Today, Jerk Sauce is used to create some of the world’s most exciting and uniquely delicious dishes!

Our award winning gluten-free Jerk Sauce comes in 12 oz bottles and is the best of the best!  Semi-sweet, rich and tangy, mildly spicy and delicious, Doc’s MBjerk_sauce_labelFamily Jamaican Jerk Sauceis made with a perfect blend of fine, imported Caribbean spices & herbs and our own unique hot peppers known as “Doc’s Darling Caribbean Reds”

 

These very sweet deep-red peppers, when combined with other spices & herbs and cooked into our mouth-watering sauce, are unique in flavor and delicious beyond description.  Suffice it to say, the end result is a very happy sauce enjoyed by all.
 
If you have never experienced authentic Jerk Chicken, Pork, Beef or Fish, you are in for a real treat!  Heat up the oven or fire up the grill and experience the aroma and taste of sheer bliss!

hot_sauceHOT SAUCE

Being a hot pepper lover, I can’t even begin to tell you how many different hot sauces I’ve tried over the years. What Ican tell you is that I never stopped searching for theperfect sauce. 
 
Call me fussy, but I have certain standards I look for in a hot sauce…

I like it hot, but not to the point that it sears taste-buds and makes my face go numb.  I like pepper-based hot sauces and don’t much care for the tomato-based ones.  I like peppers to be the dominant flavor and not the vinegar.  And I like a touch of sweet, but not so much that the taste of the peppers is overwhelmed or altered. 

 Over a span of years, my hot sauce recipe has changed many times until the delicate balance between the 13 flavor ingredients and the peppers became just right in both heat and flavor.
 hot_sauce_label

Here’s how one customer wrote and described our hot sauce: 

With the first taste of Doc’s Jamaican Hot Sauce you will notice surprising waves of Island flavors wash over you as the heat begins to build. Then the heat will keep building until you begin to wonder if it’s going to grab the wheel and take over, but just shy of exceeding the speed limit the heat backs off in perfect time for the next bite.”

 We agree! Try our award winning hot sauce, now gluten free and we think you’ll agree too!
 
* In terms of a heat, most customers rate our Doc’s Jamaican Hot Sauce somewhere in the 5 to 7 range on a heat scale of 1 to 10.
– Doc

Now there’s a safe place to fall.

Welcome to the world’s first socially responsible dating hub known for disclosing history before dating!  Finally, there’s a smarter option for online dating that addresses your biggest dating fears.  Today’s internet choices for dating are vast and meet the needs of almost every style of dating under the sun.  Until now, there weren’t any options for those looking to avoid sexually transmitted diseases.

You may think that this issue does not concern you because of your chosen life style, but chew on this:  The CDC (Center for Disease Control) new estimates show that nearly 20 million new infections occur each year in the U.S. – half among the nation’s youth.  1 in 4 people have sexually transmitted diseases and 1 in 5 aren’t aware that they are carriers.  So, if 25% of the population has an STD/STI then one would be foolish to deny that this horrific ratio also applies to online encounters.

SwaggerScan.com is a dating site for those looking to hurdle this serious obstacle by simply sharing history BEFORE the “get-to-know.”

#KnowYourStatus    #AlwaysScanYourSwagger

Founded in 2013, our mission is to help end the spread of sexual infections by offering a service that reflects today’s most pressing needs when it comes to dating. Our focus is to help stabilize sexual infections by allowing those who are proud of knowing their status to meet others who feel the same way. We provide a cool reason to get tested and a comfortable setting for you to easily ask the most important questions regarding disclosure of one’s health status. We allow for two people to feel confident when interacting which sets the course for a smart and healthy encounter that helps lead to a deeper and safer experience. Premium members can access both our ‘Safe-Dating Coach’ as well as an ‘Online Medical Professional’.

Located in the state of Florida, our a team is made up of passionate individuals all possessing administrative experience in the health education field and we are excited to bring this timely service to the world. Our website is developed by 7Hills Communications of Tallahassee, Florida.

Jenny Clark / Slovability
CEO

 

 

 

 

Jenny W Clark is founder and CEO of Solvability, Inc., a training organization dedicated to small businesses in the federal contracting industry.  Through webinars, podcasts, live “boot camps” and conferences, Jenny help small business learn the accounting side of federal contracting and shows them strategies to be more competitive and improve their cash flow.

 

Growing up in a Navy family, Jenny considers herself lucky to have grown up in the Pensacola area.  She is a Gulf Breeze High School graduate and returns to the Panhandle frequently to visit family.  Jenny has a BA in Economics and also a Masters in International Business Studies.  She’s worked in the aerospace and defense industry for over 30 years, specializing in accounting systems.

 

Jenny has stayed connected with the iTen area business community and sees lots of potential for growth in Florida, especially in IT, aviation, and unmanned vehicles.  She is also an advocate for veterans, especially for veterans who are transitioning from military to civilian careers.

 

Jenny currently lives and works in the Tampa Bay area.  She can be reached through her website at www.solvability.com or via e-mail at jwclark@solvability.com or through Linked in.

Founded in 1997, Solvability works exclusively with small businesses performing as either a prime contractor or subcontractor on federal contracts, focusing on DCAA Compliant accounting systems.

Growing companies need information about which systems to use, the costs of the software, implementation, training and maintenance.  Understanding your business structure, your plans for the future, the types of contracts and even agencies you are going after, and your reporting requirements are key to selecting the right financial accounting and reporting systems.

So where do you go for help?  The local PTAC can only really provide information about start-ups.  Your partners and competitors will only share some of their knowledge and strategy.  Large prime contractors don’t understand (and don’t care) that implementing an ERP system is expensive and time consuming, plus it takes more experienced accounting teams to run, and that your priority is passing a DCAA audit (since most small businesses are CAS-exempt.)

Before you can put in the right systems – you need the right people!  Finance and Accounting professionals who understand accounting, cost accounting and government contracting requirements, who become part of your key personnel and keep your books straight, but also know about indirect rate strategies, multipliers, billing, bidding, unallowables, unbilled and how to pass a DCAA Audit.

That is where Solvability comes in – your resource for selecting and  integrating the systems you need, while providing training for accounting, cost accounting and government contracting for you and your team.

Todd Thomson/ Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director of Public Affairs

 

 

Todd Thomson is the Executive Director of Public Affairs for the Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce.  Todd has over 20 years of experience in Florida government and politics including serving as staff director for the redistricting committee in the Florida House of Representatives during the 2002 redistricting cycle.  Todd Thomson has also has consulted on legislative campaigns on the federal, state and local levels as well as lobbying for a number of business entities.

 

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Dec. 9, 2015 – The Greater Pensacola Chamber – along with the Gulf Breeze Area Chamber of Commerce, Gulf Coast African American Chamber of Commerce, Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce, Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce and Santa Rosa County Legislative Coalition – held its Legislative Luncheon in front of 250 community, business, state and regional representatives in downtown Pensacola today.

 

The Greater Pensacola Chamber released its priorities for the 2016 legislative year, which are broken into three categories: Creating a Better Business Environment, Cutting the Cost of Doing Business and Hometown Heroes.

 

  1. To help create a better business environment, the Greater Pensacola Chamber recommends that state and local government officials act diligently when making economic development decisions and to streamline permitting and regulatory processes that sometimes hinder business opportunities. The Chamber also asks the Florida Legislature to be prepared to respond to any adverse judicial decision that might cause workers’ compensation rates in Florida to rise.

 

  1. The Greater Pensacola Chamber endorses the entirety of Governor Rick Scott’s $1 billion tax cut proposal. Specifically, the Chamber calls for a 1 percent cut in the Florida Business Rent Tax, as well as elimination of the Income Tax on Manufacturing and Retail Businesses and the Sales Tax on Manufacturing Machinery and Equipment. The Chamber also fully supports the proposed increase in the amount of income exempt from the Florida Corporate Income Tax from $50,000 to $75,000.

 

  1. To help improve the lives of our hometown heroes, the Greater Pensacola Chamber announces its support for two pieces of pro-veteran legislation. The Chamber urges the passage of HB 269, which would require the Florida Department of Children and Families to establish the Florida Combat Veterans Care Coordination Program. This program would provide combat veterans and their families with behavioral healthcare referral and care coordination services. The Chamber also supports SB 404, which would create the Veterans Employment Small Business Grant Program within the Department of Veterans Affairs. This program would offer small businesses in Florida a one-time grant of $3,000 for each veteran hired, or $5,000 for each disabled veteran hired.

 

“The Greater Pensacola Chamber supports these common sense proposals that will help grow our local businesses while creating a better quality of life for our hometown heroes,” said Todd Thomson, Executive Director of Public Affairs for the Greater Pensacola Chamber.
