With this issue,
VIP Pensacola is entering our fourth year of taking
you to many of Pensacola’s social, philanthropic, and business events.
I cannot believe how time flies as it seems we were just launching the
magazine in Pensacola. And speaking of time flying, February seemed
like it was only one week long. If the old saying is true about time
flying when you are having fun, then all of us at
VIP Pensacola must
be having a blast … and we are! We love attending and capturing in
our pages each and every wonderful event, and meeting each unique,
talented, and giving person in the Pensacola community. There are so
many great opportunities and causes in this fine city.
As we enter our fourth year, we also enter our third time bringing
you the opportunity to name the Best in Pensacola. Our annual
Readers Choice Award nominations will begin next month with
the voting finalized in April. Be on the lookout for details on how
to nominate your favorite businesses. The ones with the most
nominations in their category will move on to the final voting stage.
In this issue you will find many great events and some profiles
of some of the area’s most notable professionals in the Luxury and
Financial business sector. Read all about their areas of expertise
and how they might be helpful to you, your family, or your
business. Many of the events we covered included Mardi Gras
Krewe celebrations as they lead up to the parades and Fat Tuesday.
Pensacola’s rich Mardi Gras history enables many of the local krewes
to celebrate the season, but also to serve many great philanthropic and
social causes through their donations of time and resources, which is exactly why we like to showcase them in our
pages. Also in this issue, we recap the Fur Ball, Fifty Shades of Rosé, and a few other very special events. Give Care
Share features the gem of Pensacola’s art community – Pensacola Little Theatre. Then you certainly will want to
learn more about Ciclovia and how you can participate in this wonderful outdoor street event.
There are many ways you can spend your time. I am so glad that you have chosen to spend a few valuable minutes
looking through our magazine and I hope you see some friends or family within our pages, or even yourself as you
have been out and about enjoying all the exciting, fun, and important opportunities that Pensacola offers.
