The Kady Haynes
Beauty for Ashes
Project
Our daughter, Kady Haynes, died of Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)
at the age of 30. Kady’s legacy of helping others inspired The Kady
Haynes Beauty for Ashes Project, a 501(c)(3) corporation.
Metastatic Breast Cancer robs families of so much, creating dev-
hope to continue Kady’s legacy of love and kindness by providing
Christmas gifts to women diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer
and their children in our community, allowing their families to enjoy
this special day free from some of the burdens and hardships that
cancer imposes on their lives at what should be the most joyous time
of the year.
Please visit our website at www.TheKadyHaynesProject.org to learn
more. I will forever be a grieving mother learning to navigate life

LYNETTE
DiNOVA
Tropical Wines
One might wonder how someone who didn’t like wine would end
up changing careers and owning a wine shop? Tampa Native Lynette
downtown Dade City. Lynette had never really enjoyed any wine she
had ever tried, however she accompanied Chuck to a local winery with
zero expectations. Upon tasting the Florida Wines she realized that she
soon turned into a passion with the more she learned about the wines,
from the various grapes to how they are made.
Lynette has done everything from construction work to company
logistics in her career, so the wine shop is a big change that excites
her. In addition to selling award winning local wines, they offer gift
baskets and other unique gift items. On March 28th she will begin her
wines, paired with delectable treats while a local artist teaches you
had to paint on canvas.
She plans on hosting many events in the space, and rents out her
shop for private gatherings. They envision adding a wine bar, live music
and lots of laughter.
