Know a Local Hero? Nominate Her Now

Brandon, this is your moment. Nominations are open for the 2026 Hillsborough County Women’s Hall of Fame, honoring women who’ve moved the needle in our community, business, education, public service, philanthropy, military, and more. Forms are at HCFL.gov/WHOF, and the deadline is 5 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025.

If there’s a woman who shows up, lifts others, and makes things better without asking for applause, give her the spotlight. Nominate her, attach a few receipts of greatness, and hit submit. Future you, and the whole neighborhood will be glad you did.

Things to do

🐝 WHAT’S BUZZING AROUND TOWN 🐝

ADHD Awareness Month

October is ADHD Awareness Month, a campaign dedicated to dispelling myths, boosting understanding, and connecting people affected by ADHD with trustworthy resources.

This year’s theme, “The Many Faces of ADHD,” invites everyone from kids to adults to families to share their stories, art, and videos to help show what ADHD really looks like.

You know, plumbing and ADHD have a lot in common. Both can be running full speed one minute and completely backed up the next!
Sometimes the pressure builds, the flow gets redirected, and we’re left wondering where did that water… or thought… even go?

At Kuma Plumbing, we specialize in restoring focus and flow — no chaos, no clogs, just clean, clear results.
October is ADHD Awareness Month, so let’s remember to show patience, support, and understanding — every mind, like every plumbing system, works a little differently. 💛
