OLDSMAR

Oldsmar's current mayor apparently has not offered to dress up like the sugar plum fairy, as Mayor Emeritus Jerry Beverland once did to spur fundraising. But Mayors Jim Ronecker of Oldsmar and Andy Steingold of Safety Harbor will be wearing aprons at the Annual Mayor's Breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Dec. 10 at the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, 105 N Bayshore Drive. The mayors will serve tables at the buffet before addressing the group. The breakfast provides funds for food and gifts for Oldsmar and Safety Harbor families in need. Tickets are $25 for individuals and $250 for an entire table. Donations of decorated holiday trees, to be raffled, and unwrapped, new toys are welcome. For more information, go to utbchamber.com or call 813 855-4233.
