We had a great day volunteering Thursday October 18, 2007,
for the Metropolitan Ministries, on behalf of United Way.
Thanks to everyone from Big Sur who joined us. Also, a big
thanks to everyone who stayed behind at Big Sur so others
could participate. Our employees who came out are Scott Murdick,
Systems Engineer; Dave Kahlbaugh, Systems Engineer; Jim Trice,
Systems Engineer; Jeff Tessier, Business Development Manager;
and Sam and Lisa Sandusky, owners of Big Sur.
United Way conducted volunteer efforts all over the greater
Hillsborough and Pinellas County area on the same day as
us. There are approximately 70 agencies in the greater Tampa
Bay area that receive assistance from United Way of Tampa
Bay. Our employees can be proud that they took part in a
major mobilization of effort that will help thousands of
families in our community.
We all met at the Metropolitan Ministries main campus located
at 2002 N. Florida Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33602. It is a
very large campus that stretches the entire city block between
N. Tampa Street and N. Florida Avenue. We worked in the "Holiday
Tent" which is a massive red and white tent that is
set up for the months of November and December to provide
holiday entertainment and a warm meal to an estimated 20,000
families who have pre-registered to participate. It's an
impressive effort. We joined 15 employees from Wacovia Bank
who were also volunteering for the day to assemble stages,
kiosks, paint walls, and any other needs they have in regard
to the Holiday Tent. We mostly painted 30 or so, very large
tables that will be used to distribute vegetables, turkeys,
and other meals during the holidays. Be sure to drop by and
visit anytime now through the end of December to see this
massive and temporary complex that they put up once per year.
Thanks again to ALL BIG SUR EMPLOYEES for "lending
a hand", and giving back to our community.
