SAMA - Holiday Party 2024: MEMBERS ONLY

A message from SAMA Executive Director, Rob Harris:

We want to thank all of you for attending this year’s Holiday party. The entire SAMA BOD and staff truly appreciate your participation throughout the year, and this is a small way for us to show that appreciation. It looked and sounded like everyone had an enjoyable time.

A few items I neglected to say:

• Thank you to Aaron Laine, Allison Evanitz, and James Pritchard for their hard work in spearheading the setting up and cleaning up the party. From blowing snow to beach balls, it made for a true Florida holiday party. There were others who helped, and I thank them as well, Kathy Alder, Nico Marchitello, Chris Conley.
• Thank you to everyone for your generosity in bringing MANY gifts for Toys for Tots. TFT was very appreciative when I played Santa and delivered the toys to them Friday morning.
• Thank you to John Saputo and Hugh Shields for allowing organizations like ours to have events at Gold Coast Eagle. They are very generous and do a phenomenal job hosting.
• Many of you enjoyed the food, though we had a lot of leftovers! I was asked who provided: Sarasota Catering Company, Savannah Dyer.

On behalf of SAMA’s Board of Directors and staff, I wish you Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year. I’m looking forward to 2025 with all of you!
