GRCC Committees

Co-Chairs:

Joe Eletto, Century 21 Beggins

Rich Rohde, R Processor Inc.

The May MAC meeting emphasized how the GRCC members and the community can assist and participate in enriching the lives of our military community. This really hits home when projects are planned with the idea of improving quality of life for our military and veterans. One such project is the Tampa Bay Ferry Service to include a much needed commuter ferry service from South County to McDill Air Force Base, which will relieve a minimum of one hour travel time for those members that work on the base and live in South County. Tanya Doran, President and CEO of the Tampa Bay Ferries Alliance, gave a thorough overview of this much needed project. Be a supporter by signing up at tampabayferriesalliance.org.

A recap of future Veterans Memorial Park events was given with emphasis on upcoming Memorial Day . A young lady will be presented a certificate of achievement from GRCC MAC for reaching the level of Eagle Scout. 100 Letters are being written by elementary school students to be given out on the upcoming June 13 Honor Flight during mail call as these WWII & Korean War veterans return from a wonderful tour in Washington DC. Other events include the Hillsborough County Veterans Helping Veterans non-profit’s annual golf outing scheduled for September 30. Future fundraising events and also future tours for members and the community were discussed with more details to come in the future. The MAC meets the second Friday of every other odd number months with next meeting scheduled for July 14th at The Bridges. Please join us and participate in helping to enrich the lives of our military community.
