A Tampa Bay nonprofit faces the greatest fear of any charitable organization; that in the face of a major holiday less than two weeks away, there just won't be enough food for everyone.
For the past two years, in an effort to ensure the wellbeing of so many of our beloved furry friends without homes; The Humane Society of the Nature Coast (Hernando and Pasco Counties) has been busily constructing a beautiful new building exclusively for homeless cats and kittens. The new cat and kitten adoption facility located at 7200 Mobley Dr. Brooksville Florida, 34601, has added a spacious 5000 square feet to the shelter, where 10 staff members will complete 1000 feline adoptions a year.
How many people would wait 32 years to be reunited with the person they loved?
That is exactly what Kathryn Geremesz and her husband had to do. The incredible story of this amazing woman, who celebrated her hundredth birthday on October 31st, spanned a century and two continents.

Every year on All Souls Day, November 2nd at 10 am, a service is held at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Brooksville, Florida. That is the only service held in the church all year. The church is named after one of the patron saints of Poland, St. Stanislaus of Szczepanów.
All Souls Day is also referred to as the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed and the Day of the Dead. It is a day of remembrance for the souls of those who have passed on.
A community tradition returns Saturday, Nov. 7 and although this family favorite event will be presented in a slightly different form this year, the heart and spirit of this philanthropic art gathering remain the same.
