Public support has been overwhelming in efforts to help the victims of last month’s Haiti earthquake. A diverse range of organizations, religious groups, businesses and other entities is working to gather money, supplies and personnel for Haiti relief.
“Obviously, the best thing that people can do at the moment is to donate to a recognized organization,” said Jane Bowden, public relations chair for the American Red Cross Space Coast Chapter.
Much of the financial support has been flowing through the American Red Cross and its chapters around the country.
For many individuals, she said, the best way to help out is with a monetary contribution to an organization that can turn the money into whatever might be needed in Haiti – food or medical supplies, for example.
Because of transportation, distribution and storage issues, individuals are better off making a monetary contribution, rather than donating goods, like food or clothing, for Haiti, Bowden said.
Please HAITI, Space Coast

PALM BAY — The year 2013 should prove a lucky one for David Calvo, principal at Palm Bay Community Charter School and the new Palm Bay Municipal Charter High. That’s the year that students in the school’s first graduating class don their mortarboards and gowns to happily accept their high school diplomas.
As an educator, Calvo is in an enviable position to nurture both students and schools, as he simultaneously leads the charter school while spearheading the development of the high school.
With a combined current student body of 700, Calvo’s two schools have plenty of room to grow.
“Our capacity is 1,400 students,” said Calvo.
As is typical with new high schools, Palm Bay Municipal Charter High School began with ninth grade this year. A subsequent grade will be added each year for the next three years.
Calvo came on board as principal in July, specifically to launch the high school. “This is the third high school I’ve star-ted,” he said.

CAPE CANAVERAL — Carol Craig did not hesitate when asked if her company would like to be a corporate sponsor of next month’s Cocoa Beach Wine & Food Festival, which benefits Project Hunger.
Craig is the founder, president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Cape Canaveral-based Craig Technologies, which will be the presenting sponsor of the March 13 event at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach. Her company provides engineering, technical and training services to government and commercial clients.
The event features food tastings of the creations of more than 20 chefs from diverse local restaurants, wine pairings provided by Southern Wine & Spirits, a concert by Three Dog Night and a fireworks show.
Craig said, around last Thanksgiving, she saw a photo in Florida Today of a man holding his face in his hands, a gesture of gratitude for being fed a hot and wholesome meal. She said the photo accompanied a story of a local restaurant feeding Brevard County ’s less fortunate at no charge for the Thanksgiving holiday.
