THANK YOU GUPPY'S GULFSIDE GALLOP VOLUNTEERS & SPONSORS-The final figures aren't yet in but....this year's beachfront race on Saturday, April 6th may have been our biggest and best yet! A special thanks to Gallop Chairman & HOA Treasurer Wendi Carmody and HOA President Becky Griffin for kicking this year's race up a notch by adding ankle transponder chips to record race times. Words can't express our appreciation to Guppy's and to Todd Plumlee of Plumlee Realty, who graciously support this event year after year. We were so thrilled to have Chase Bank with us this year as a sponsor for the first time. In addition to sponsoring the Chase Bank Finish Line, they provided other goodies as well. We also thank Publix and Get Fitness for their participation, too.. And to the best group of volunteers on the planet, thanks is not nearly enough. It was such a great team effort and our collective ability to produce well-run events has been duly noted by our community! Without our group of talent and energy and a passion for IRB, this event would never be possible! ULTIMATE THANK-YOU! Before the IRB Holiday Street Parade in December 2012, the IRB Homeowners received an honor that truly humbled us. Jeff Garber thanked us for our Beach Boxes for Troops program by presenting our group with an American Flag flown by the 37th Expeditionary Bomb Squad over actual combat in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Garber, who learned about our Beach Boxes for Troops on Facebook, is a Clearwater resident and member of the Air Force Reserves who had just returned from an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. What an incredible honor! See the 37th Expeditionary Bomb Squad AWARD CERTIFICATE that accompanied the flag Personal THANK-YOUS from Beach Box Recipients THANK-YOU FROM THE BEACH COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY! We received the following words of gratitude from Chuck Pond of the Beach Community Food Pantry at Calvary Episcopal Church: "Thanks for the terrific cooperation and help at the "Taste" on Saturday. Our Beach Community Food Pantry netted enough on our beverage sales to buy a month's worth of food! You guys took care of us big time...all this plus the generous cash gift for the holidays and proceeds from the Poker Run, too. You are a top-notch group and we are very appreciative. Our community is remarkably blessed by your efforts."
