From our Ship's Mascot:
Daniel was a great manager at Tequilas. He always made sure our Krewe was well taken care of. Tall, thin blonde. He always extended any of their "specials" deadlines for us, etc.
From Daniel:
Good evening, My name is Daniel Frey, I was the General Manager at Tequilas in Ybor and ran many of your events over the past 2 years. I working with Pink and her husband often. I left Tequilas at the end of November.
Two weeks later I had a lung collapse, spent 11 days at Tampa General and got out on Christmas Eve after an invasive surgery on 12/20. I'm currently struggling as I have been out of work due to a month of recovery. I haven't been able to pay my rent or my phone bill and it's been tough.
I know you contribute to charities and I don't know where else to turn. Thank you for your time! Here is my GoFund me link with the details.
Thank you, Daniel Frey
Let's help our friend in need. XoXoXo Blessings

Imagine how cool that ship would be sailing out of Harbor Island. Maybe get the Bucs or Disney behind it. It would sail daily for parties and imagine what it would be like for Gasparilla? If marketed properly and with the right location it could be very profitable. ~Terri J
I can manage the business part of it, but I would have no idea how to make it go. Lol. ~Terri J
Hubby legitimately planning to sell the house with one of his war buddies for this. I’m kicking myself in the ass for sharing this...a little bit...part of me is ready for the pirate life.

Make sure you never miss an update: On the Ship's Signals page, under the new cover photo (by Bobby Blish!), click on the "Following" drop-down, and check "see first" - that way any updates from this page will show up first in your timeline.
By the way, this works with any page you "like" and "follow" - but of course we want you to see OUR posts first so you never miss out on official news and communications from our Ship's Mascot Forever PINK.
