CLEARWATER BEACH UNCORKED

It was a phenomenal weekend of Clearwater Beach Uncorked at the Hyatt Regency! Chamber-of-Commerce weather, fabulous food, wine, and spirits, and electrifying entertainment combined to make Clearwater Beach a vibrant, energetic venue. From the roof-top, poolside Urban Splash Friday night, through sun-splashed beachside Grand Tasting Village and Spirits Beach Club Lounge Sunday afternoon, it was the place to be for 3,000 festival-goers. Hats off to Publix, Hyatt Regency, Bright House, City of Clearwater, CCM, Floridata, sponsors, vendors, patrons, staff, and volunteers for supporting the Abilities Foundation!

IMPROVing Homes and lives  

The Foundation partnered with the Pinellas Park Home Depot Store to make Jessie Dunn's St. Petersburg home handicapped-accessible, safe, and more energy-efficient. Improvements included a new roof, wheelchair ramp and railing, ceiling fans, pre-hung interior doors with lock sets, and CFL light bulbs. Materials and labor (nine employees are pictured above) were provided courtesy of The Home Depot. The project was featured on CBS, ABC, and Fox News TV broadcasts and CBS Cox Media Radio. Mrs. Dunn (above right), the widow of a disabled veteran said, 'I'm estatic!' Click here for photos.
