So True.... $Millions lost to the community

Not only did the family donate over $1 million to Key West non-profits, they donated over $25 million to a pediatric hospital that pioneered AIDS treatment for children. Gone... because of Joe Pais. (Nobody in Key West ever remembers what happened over ten years ago). SHAME!!!

So True

Wow I didn't know that. What family was this?

Pais Paved Paradise and Put up a Parking Lot...

Joe Pais, single-handedly, shoved the Caroline Street Park-and-Ride down the citizens of Key West's throats. Then he unleashed a petty, personal vendetta that drove out one of the most generous families that ever lived in Key West. Ironically, that family did more to pioneer AIDS treatment than anyone in the history of Monroe County. If Joe Pais donated his next ten years salary, it wouldn't begin to address the damages he wreaked.

You Got That Right!

I knew the board would make the right decision. Although Ms. Leto and Ms. Saunders would have a great job, too.

All the best

to Robert Walker, whose efforts I admired as the principal of HO'B and as the director of AIDS Help.

Joe was definitely the best

Joe was definitely the best choice! congrats Joe!

Joe Pais: Great Choice for Executive Director

Congratulations to Joe Pais for his selection as the next Executive Director of AIDS Help. Robert Walker has performed a wonderful job and helped lead the way for clients to have secure and affordable housing. Robert showed sincere compassion and truly cared about the clients. Joe was the clear-cut choice for Executive Director to ensure those visions continues. Thank you to the Board of Directors for their unanimous vote and unquestionable show of support.
