event, a few of our Chapter members strutted up
521 stairs, that’s 25 long flights of stairs, to raise
money for the American Lung Association.
On March 8 many of our members had the
wonderful opportunity to watch the Orlando City
Soccer inaugural game against New York City FC.
It was a beautiful evening to network with industry peers and enjoy a great
game! The game ended up being a tie…1 to 1. Go Orlando City!
Some exciting things are in the works for 2015 including some interesting
presentations and networking opportunities that will help you in your business,
as well as numerous safety events that will occur throughout the year. Watch
for more information.
The Chapter Board wanted to thank and highlight a local member,
Tony
Caruso.
“Who is watching the kids?” This is how Tony Caruso starts off his weekly
radio show, “The Pool Fanatics” Saturday afternoons on WDBO-AM in Orlando.
He believes that children are our future and that they should be nurtured,
praised, disciplined, taught, hugged and above all else..loved.
“The Pool Fanatics” radio show turns five years old this year and it is a
labor of love that Tony thoroughly enjoys doing. It is not an hour long talk show
about his own accomplishments but an educational question and answer
session about the latest swimming pool industry trends, technology, innovation,
problems and, more importantly, recommended solutions.
Tony Caruso
is very giving person in today’s swimming pool industry. He is
the owner of
TC Water Features Inc.
in Orlando, a family business that also
employs his wife Tina, his brothers Bud, Mike and Tom, and his sons Chris and
Anthony. His passion is work and play. He believes in giving back in many
ways. He spends countless hours preparing for both his weekly radio show
and the FSPA positions and committees in which he is involved.
For our industry, he currently serves as the president of the Bludsworth
Central Florida Chapter of FSPA, having been on the local Board since 1996.
He has served on the state Board and is active in the state Builders’ Council.
Tony Caruso, TC
Water Features,
has a passion for
pools and safety.
