bpw|MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Jennifer Cappadona
I am originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., and moved to Tampa area in 1991 where I met my husband Robert in 1996. We married a year later. He was not happy working for the large air conditioning company there, so we decided to open our own business Electric Cooling & Illuminations inc.
We had customers as far as Miami and Fort Lauderdale area (where he is from). We met people who owned hotels in the Keys and started to travel here for work.
In August 2011,we moved ourselves and our business here. We repair and install air conditioning units. We enjoy making people comfortable in their homes and offices.
We also do landscape lighting. It is not only pretty but helpful for security reasons, too. Aside from residential landscape lighting, we also did the landscape lighting at Cheeca Lodge & Spa and the Pelican Cove Resort.
I am a licensed HVAC contractor and licensed home inspector. I am also a notary. I I handle all office work, bookkeeping, permitting, payroll, scheduling and so on.
I met Laura Maupin by chance seeing one of her Nerium posts on Facebook. I love all the Nerium products! She introduced me to BPW and I'm thankful she did.
I belong to the Islamorada Moose Lodge,the Tavernier Elks Lodge and the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce. I volunteer for the Village of Islamorada Landscape advisory committee. For fun, I enjoy boating,kayaking,reading and all that the Keys offer.
A/C tips from Jennifer
- Change filters
- Check batteries in thermostat
- Rinse outdoor unit from coral dust and debris
- Keep household blinds facing down in summer and facing up in winter
- Test heat to burn off lint
- Treat drain lines with small cap full of bleach

Ann Sandlin of United Way
September means the new school year is in full swing, and United Way of the Florida Keys is working hard on its annual "Stuff the Bus" school supply drive.
This has been a record year with a tremendous outpouring of support from more than 70 local businesses and organizations like BPW, chambers of commerce, Rotary clubs, Moose, and many others have generously gathered supplies, providing much needed help for the children and teachers at every public and charter school in the Keys.
The final step in gathering supplies is when United Way receives pallets from local Publix stores as part of their "Tools for Schools" contribution. After that, everything is sorted at the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative warehouse in Marathon, and with the help of dedicated volunteers, board members, and United Way staff, school supplies are delivered up and down the Keys.
To celebrate all the hard work, United Way is having two parties -- 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29 at the Islamorada Beer Co.and 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28 at the Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon.
Complimentary light bites and a cash bar will be available. All are invited to be part of the celebration.
