Weekly Update Newsletter June 15, 2016 Greetings! Whew! Our 21st Annual Awards Dinner was last night and we are still reeling in the aftermath glow. It was truly a spectacular event and many were recognized and honored to be nominated by their peers. Although our theme was being the #1 beach in the USA, the evening was all about those who have played a significant part in that truism. The Business Awards winners were announced to the surprised audience of a packed Ballroom at the Hilton Clearwater Beach. Please see the list below of all those who so deservingly received their Awards. The Clearwater Beach Taste Fest and Clearwater Beach Restaurant Week took the floor as well to announce the winners during one of the most popular events for our community. Whoops and hollers could be heard from those who discovered they won for "Best Of..." and the room was filled with excitement. There were several emotional moments during the evening and one was when Michael Preston "Frenchy" was recognized with the Chairman's "Beach Chamber Heroes" Award by Frank Dame. Frenchy's success with his businesses and the impact they have in our community are insurmountable. He is a true leader and one of the many reasons why visitors and locals alike come to our destination. People from all over the world know the name "Frenchy", so it is no surprise that he is our hero. However, his commitment and support of our Beach Chamber has topped the list of outstanding accolades, and it was an honor to be able to publicly thank him for all he has done to create a new Beach Chamber Office and Visitor Center for us. We will proudly continue to help those who are visiting our fine City and the businesses that make us #1. Thank you Frenchy. 2016 Annual Business Award Winners Small Business of the Year Clearwater Ferry Service Trisha & Dennis Rodriquez NonProfit Business of the Year Non-Profit Business of the Year- Clearwater Marine Aquarium Large Business of the Year Large Business of the Year Morton Plant Hospital Tourism Person of the Year Tourism Person of the Year- Lisa Chandler Volunteer of the Year Volunteer of the Year Juli Norberg Citizen of the Year Citizen of the Year City of Clearwater Police Chief Dan Slaughter Chamber Hero Award Chamber Hero Award Frenchy Darlene Kole President/CEO Socialize With Us!
