After Party: Derek Teele Memorial Golf Tournament

Visors, koozies, and bracelets will be sold for the Derek Teele Foundation, a non-profit that donates to local organizations in memory of the Smokehouse and Living Room's nephew, a 17-year-old who died in a car crash in May 2007.  

Vote Party: Eddie for American Hero Dog

• When: Saturday, May 18 at 3 p.m. 
• Where: Sea Dog Brew Pub, 26200 US Highway 19 N, Clearwater

Shannon Hutto while deployed in Afghanistan. A Dunedin woman organized a "vote party" for Eddie and hopes to raise awareness to the life-saving work that dogs like Eddie do. She's also collecting dog toys and Kongs for all the dogs at MacDill. (More info.)
