I'd like to offer great thanks to O'Maddy's and to Salty Sal's for joining the Tour de force of businesses in our community who are supporting and contributing to Gulfport's First Annual Youth Book Writing Contest. Thank you, Thank you.

And thank you to Karen Gates for designing and setting up the contest facebook page! For those of you who do not recognize the name, Karen is the person behind many of our Gulfport T-shirts that are so popular.

Thanks also go out repeatedly to our Pinellas County School District Educators who are supporting and encouraging our youth's participation. Thank you, Thank you.
