Maurice can be found on his piano, working and com- posing songs, his true love for music.
His father and mother, Maurice and Sherry Allen, Sr., stated how proud and blessed he is to play profession- ally, weekly with his son, where he can cultivate his business acumen through his roles at their company, Allen’s Enter- tainment Group; and he’s also active with the Tampa Bay Jazz Fest and Tampa Bay Gospel Music Festival.

Annual Donations
The Progress Village Civic Council is a Non-Profit (501c3) organization. All residents of the Progress Village Commu- nity are members of the Civic Council. To help support the work we do in the community we ask for a yearly (tax-de- ductible) donation from each household of $25.00. Please send your donation in the form of check or money order to: Progress Village Civic Council, 7933 Flower Ave., Tampa, FL 33619. Thanks in advance for your support!
Just think, if we received $25 from each household we would have a workable budget of over $20,000 to do things in the community.
Call your news for Progress Village and surrounding areas to Linda Washington, (813) 741-3604.
