International Gator Day 2006

May 20th 2006 was International Gator Day. A day when all Great Gators get
together to try and do something for their community. The Gator Club®
of Volusia County has decided to partner up with Halifax Habitat for Humanity
on this day. The work day began at 8a.m. and ran until noon!
Water and light refreshments was provided.

We did not need to bring anything with us to the job site. We just wore old
comfortable clothing, and closed toe shoes. Construction experience is was
definitely not required.

We did some landscaping for the Farina family at 1395 Wright St.
in Daytona and the house next door too! The work consisted of some
sod laying, landscaping of plant material and mulch and general "final cleanup"
to get the property ready for the dedication ceremony.

We had a very nice number of Volunteers from our club, but maybe next year
we could see more of our Gator's support this fine Group.

Our Volunteers were:
Rob and Suzan Horner
(Rob organized this event and our hats off-Great job Rob!)
President Jim Tobin and Virginia Waikins
Gary and Bambi Morgan
Bob Barker and Donna Kearns
Jerry and Gayle Sheets
David Carter
Kevin Corr
Michael Libardi
Chris Kelly
