For those not familiar with ASHFN, it was founded 22 years ago by Nick Silverio who works 24/7 at no salary to help mothers and expectant mothers in crisis. Recently, they welcomed the 370th baby that was lawfully left in the arms of caring firefighters at a Florida Fire Station. Firefighters ensured both mother and the baby were healthy, and mother was offered additional support and resources with her identity protected as the law allows. That healthy baby was delivered to a local hospital and was placed for adoption with a loving forever family.
Don’t forget to reserve your spot for Coral Gables Woman’s Club (CGWC) Centennial Mother’s Day Tea on Saturday, May 13, 1 – 4 p.m. This 4th annual tea is always a lavish affair you will not want to miss.

Doral’s own Steven Bradley, and this writer orchestrated yet another Gringo Bingo fundraiser at Steven’s Clutch Burger Restaurant raising almost $900 for Coral Gables Woman’s Club charities despite countywide street flooding that certainly reduced the numbers. A hearty group, including sponsors Lynn Bauer, Jerry Kavulich and Dr. Hal Wanless, managed to gather for another fun night of bingo and music with several news faces as well.
In other non-profit news, on April 16, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority held a Groovin’ in the Gables Scholarship Brunch for the Pearls of Hope Foundation, Inc. to fund its scholarship and mentorship programs. The affair was chaired by Rochelle Adger with Kristina Jackson as her Co-Chair. The event featured an internationally acclaimed Red House Duo playing the best jazz, R & B and neo soul.
