June Member Spotlight - Florida Foundation for Correctional Excellence (FFCE)

Central Florida - DeMello's Tax Service


Hello everyone! My name is Adiles DeMello and I would like to introduce myself and my business to the Northeast Polk Chamber of Commerce Community.

I recently relocated to Florida after spending over 20 years in the North part of this country and this is where I plan to stay and retire. I was born and raised in Brazil and moved here over 25 years ago.


I always had a passion for numbers and helping others achieve their goals, so

becoming a tax accountant made very much sense for me. Holding a master’s degree in accounting with a focus on taxation has allowed me to assist many small business owners to grow their company effectively, by helping them take advantage of all possible tax deductions and credits available.


Here at DeMello’s Tax Service LLC, we are a value-driven company that seeks a long-term relationship with our clients by providing excellent services at an affordable price.  We treat you like family and you can count on us year-round with your tax planning needs. Let us do the hard work so that you can enjoy more time with family and friends without stressing about taxes.


Among our services, we provide monthly accounting plans with/without payroll to get you and your business ready for the tax filing season. Further, we assist future business owners in setting up the type of entity that will best fulfill their business needs. We have been doing it for over 10 years with proven success.


Feel free to contact us to learn more about our services and what we can do to help you, and your business reduce the burden taxes can put on your shoulders.

State of Florida - Florida Foundation for Correctional Excellence (FFCE)


Established in 2020, the Florida Foundation for Correctional Excellence (FFCE) is a nonprofit direct support organization committed to advancing innovative and effective career readiness and reentry programs within the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC). Since its inception, Executive Director Erica Averion has led the organization with a focus on collaboration and innovation—bringing together public and private partners to strengthen workforce training programs and support successful reentry, all in service of public safety and thriving Florida communities.


Through its ongoing partnership with FDC, FFCE has helped expand and enhance program offerings that improve reentry planning and outcomes. These efforts include the purchase of new technology and equipment, the development of business and community partnerships, the launch of scholarship pilots, and the creation of employment opportunities for individuals returning to the community after incarceration.


Under the direction of the Department, FFCE is currently focused on building a direct employment pipeline by connecting business and industry leaders with individuals preparing for release. By bringing these partners into correctional facilities, the initiative promotes alignment with real workforce needs, increases employer engagement, and supports successful reentry through mock interviews, simulations, and direct job opportunities.


To further this work, FFCE is hosting Employment Partner Showcases—exclusive events designed to connect businesses with job-ready individuals and demonstrate how correctional education and training programs are preparing them to enter the workforce ready to contribute on day one of their return to Florida communities. These showcases offer a unique opportunity to tour facility-based training programs, speak with skilled individuals preparing for reentry, and learn how to customize hiring pipelines to meet evolving workforce demands. Participants will also have the chance to engage with other employers and learn about available hiring incentives.


We invite you to attend FFCE’s next Employment Partner Showcase, “Build Your

Workforce,” on June 25th at Polk Correctional Institution. Your participation will not only support second-chance hiring but also provide valuable insight into a sustainable talent solution for your business.


Please join and RSVP here.

Haines City, FL - Sisters Juntiques Vintage Market:  A Hidden Gem in Haines City, Florida


Nestled along US Highway 27 in Haines City, Florida, Sisters Junktiques Vintage Market stands as a testament to the charm and character of small-town antiquing.  What began as a modest venture in 2015 by sisters Julie Stalnaker and Judy Brown, this 5,000 sq foot market has transformed into a bustling hub of creativity and nostalgia.


The building housing Sisters Junktiques was once the site of Blackwelder Groves, known for its fresh-squeezed orange and grapefruit juice, started by their dad, Richard Blackwelder in the 1970's into the early 90's, so Julie and Judy feel everything has come FULL CIRCLE.


The market houses more than 40 vendor booths, each offering a curated collection of items.  Shoppers can explore a variety of antiques, restored furniture, vintage jewelry, handcrafted goods, and seasonal decor.  The sisters' husbands also contribute to the family enterprise.  Julie's husband, Bill, operated Haines City Truck Brokers and Judy's husband, CJ, runs Brown's Saddle Shop, both located on the same property.


Sisters is more than just a shopping destination, it's a community hub.  The market hosts monthly "Sip and Shop" events where shoppers can enjoy refreshments while browsing with many vendors offering sales just for that night.  Special sales, such as Black Friday Weekend promotions, feature deeper sales drawing both regulars and newcomers to the market.


Sisters Junktiques Vintage Market is located at 31549 Highway 27, Haines City, FL  33844.  The Market hours are:


Sunday - Monday: 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Tuesday - Saturday:  10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

HAS YOUR CLAIM BEEN DENIED OR UNDERPAID?


At Adjuster Pros Public Adjusters, we are licensed professionals who represent policyholders in negotiating insurance claims.

By thoroughly documenting damage and using industry standards for estimates, we help prevent underpayment. Our services ensure policyholders receive the full benefits they deserve, especially those unfamiliar with insurance policies or lacking time to manage a claim. We handle all communication, reducing stress and improving the chances of a fair settlement. 


With my ten years of experience working for insurance companies, I have learned the ins and outs of their mindset. Let Adjuster Pros use our combined expertise in insurance policies, claim documentation, and negotiations to help your home or business navigate  the often-complex claims process.

President/ Owner: Jinnell Lane



I have always believed that we as women must work together to build and not tear each other down. I wanted to make in difference in people lives as well as reach out to assist the community in which I live in. This journey is a marathon so, I don't expect to sprint through the process. My prayer is that I am able to empower other women and build a life long relationship with those I come in contact with. I attended college and currently hold a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership, I am also a Professional Life Coach. With receiving my degree I never had an opportunity to be a part of a sorority/ sisterhood so, I said why not create one myself. This was the birth of "WIN" Women Interacting & Networking Inc..

Central Florida - Ingrid Burch, Saving Grace Senior Consulting - Hello!  My name is Ingrid Burch and I am the owner of Saving Grace Senior Consulting.  I have been in the Health-Care/Senior Living industry for over a decade.  Although I have found my career to be challenging, it has easily been the most rewarding aspect of my life.  I truly cannot imagine another path for myself.  I’ve heard it said, "when you love what you do, it’s not a job, it’s a passion".  Assisting those in need of Senior Care is definitely my passion.


Polk County is my community.  It is where I was raised.  It is where I raised my children.  It is where we share dinner with our neighbors.  Where we borrow a cup of sugar when we run out.  Where we lend a helping hand to those less fortunate and never expect  anything in return.  I believe that we should take care of our elderly in the same way.


I am thankful for all of the resources that Polk County has to offer our senior community. If you or a loved one is in search for a senior living community and you aren't sure where to begin, let me be your one stop consultant. I can guide you through each  step as well as give you the resources that will benefit you and or your loved one.


Did you know there is adult day care in Polk County?

Multiple hospice agencies?

Home Companions?

Home Health?

Veteran's benefits?

Medicaid?

Elder Law?


The list can go on and on.


I aim to be a guiding light to seniors and their families in their time of uncertainty. With my background and compassionate approach, I help pave the way for an enhanced senior living experience, while fostering environments of dignity, comfort, and support.   Consultations are free.

Central Florida - United Way of Central Florida ReadingPals Program -  ReadingPals Program Needs Volunteers!  ReadingPals is a statewide early literacy initiative that provides volunteer mentors for students from Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) to 3rd grade who may need extra help, utilizing one-on-one or small group settings. Just an hour a week can make a big difference for struggling children. That’s why United Way of Central Florida’s Early Literacy Initiative is seeking 200+ volunteers interested in helping children succeed academically. The initiative, sponsored by the Carol and Barney Barnett fund within the GiveWell Community Foundation, focuses on engaging, training and deploying volunteer “ReadingPals” to increase the number of students reading at grade level by the end of third grade.


In conjunction with local school districts, Early Learning Coalitions, Children’s Services Councils and The Children’s Movement of Florida, this initiative, which began in 2012, has expanded to 15 Florida United Way and other nonprofits servicing the state.

 

The statewide ReadingPals initiative pillars for achievement are:

1.  To build genuine, impactful relationships between students and our volunteer mentors.

2.  To help students build a strong social-emotional foundation through self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making.

3.  To improve students understanding of the fundamental building blocks of early literacy.

 

Volunteers interested in becoming a ReadingPal will receive training and will be matched with kindergarten children across 15 area schools who can benefit from this focused reading time. Teaching experience is not required.

 

ReadingPals are asked to volunteer for one hour, one day a week using a curriculum designed by Polk County Schools. Activities compliment the core competencies five and six year old students are required to master. Under the supervision of classroom teachers and initiative trainers, ReadingPals will be asked to provide two 30-minute/back-to-back tutoring sessions weekly. The ReadingPals early literacy initiative helps students establish a foundation for reading by improving vocabulary, listening skills, comprehension, and visual and auditory memory.


Become a ReadingPal today by following this link and change the life of a child – forever!  ReadingPals - United Way of Central Florida (uwcf.org)


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Ruthie Teets, ReadingPals Program Manager, at 863-648-1500 x245 or at ruth.teets@uwcf.org .

Five Things to Know: Men's health is a topic often overshadowed by stereotypes of toughness and fortitude, but it's a crucial aspect of overall well-being that deserves attention and awareness. From physical to mental well-being, here are five essential things to know about men's health:


1. Preventive Care is Key: Many men tend to neglect routine check-ups and preventive screenings, but early detection of health issues can be life-saving. Regular visits to health care providers for check-ups, blood pressure screenings, cholesterol tests, and other screenings are essential for maintaining optimal health. Proactive prevention can identify potential health concerns, allowing for earlier interventions and better health outcomes.

2. Mental Health Matters: Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it's often overlooked. Men may be hesitant to seek help for conditions like stress, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse due to stigma or societal expectations of masculinity. However, it’s crucial to prioritize mental well-being and seek support when needed for overall health, resilience, and quality of life.

3. Healthy Lifestyle Habits Make a Difference: Adopting healthy lifestyle habits can significantly impact health and well-being. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management are foundational pillars of good health. Avoiding tobacco use, limiting alcohol consumption, and practicing safe sex are also important. Small, sustainable changes in daily habits can lead to significant improvements in overall health and vitality.

4. Know Your Numbers: Understanding key health indicators, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference, is essential for monitoring health status and identifying potential risk factors for chronic diseases. Being aware of these numbers and working with health care providers to maintain them within healthy ranges can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health conditions.

5. Community Support is Vital: Building a strong support network of friends, family, and health care professionals is crucial for men's health. Having a supportive community can provide encouragement, accountability, and resources for navigating health challenges and making positive lifestyle changes. Whether it's joining a fitness group, participating in men's health forums, or seeking guidance from health care providers, community support plays a vital role in promoting men's health and well-being.


Need help getting started? Our Florida Blue Center teams can help do blood pressure checks, offer health coaching, and help you find care, like a low- or no-cost clinic or other resources that may be available nearby. They also host events online and in person that are open to the community. You can find the Florida Blue Center nearest you and a listing of upcoming events at FloridaBlue.com/Center or call 1-877-352-5830.


At every stage of life, men’s health can enhance overall quality of life. Prioritizing preventive care, addressing mental health concerns, embracing healthy lifestyle habits, fostering healthy relationships, balancing work and personal life, and keeping an eye on vital health indicators are all key. Also, seeking community support. By taking control of your health, you’ll be paving

the way for a vibrant and fulfilling life. Remember, investing in your health today will pay dividends for many years to come.

We are committed to building long-lasting relationships with our customers, and we go above and beyond to meet their needs.

Started in 2017 as a vacation home in Davenport we bought, we quickly realized the need for a good cleaning so our tenants can truly enjoy their vacations in a fresh and stress free home away from home. After buying a second vacation home and seeing our business grow, we began using our knowledge and experience in cleaning to start our own cleaning business as well. At first under a different name, our services quickly attracted new clients, both residential and vacation home owners, and we began to feel we are doing a great service to our community of residents and business owners.

Not long afterwards we opened up a handyman department which brought a unique touch to our business. Home owners began using us for their handyman work as well, which includes fixings/repairs of furniture and appliances, pressure washing, painting, and more. So in 2023 we incorporated under the business name of Clean Fix and Beyond LLC. 

Our team of cleaners and handymen are dedicated to their work. Our contract is our quality of work and it is what has gained us multiple 5-Star reviews on Google and Facebook. We offer Standard Clean, Deep Clean, Move-out/in Clean, and Vacation Cleaning, along with handyman services all tailored to each client's specific needs. We'd love to service your home or business also. Contact today and take advantage of our periodic offers!"
