Second Round..... Hospital Drive By.
Clearwater area on Friday, May 8 at 7:00 PM
The gathering point is the Anona United Methodist Church parking lot, 13233 Indian Rocks Rd, Largo, FL 33774 at 6:30 PM. The drive will start as soon as everyone is there, hopefully arriving at Largo Med before 7:00 PM and at Morton Plant a few minutes after 7:00. Each driver will have received a map via email so there is no need for a driver's meeting (see the attached map). We will follow Mike and Karen Silvernail in their black MGB along a scenic route (through the Gold-burgs) to the two hospitals. Two loops are to be made around each hospital. By limiting the hospital visits to two, the drive-bys can happen around 7:00 PM and we can still get home before dark. To tour these two facilities will take about 30 minutes. The hospitals have been notified and will be expecting us.
Your creative display signs of “Thank You” and appreciation are good (see the attachment for ideas). Please respect our hosts’ wishes and wear a face mask.
On Friday, May 1 the FSMGCC organized a drive-by to honor healthcare professionals and first-responders at two St. Pete hospitals. The event went over so well, with both the hospitals and our Club members, that we plan to do it again in the Clearwater area on Friday, May 8 at 7:00 PM. Coincidentally, this is “National Nurses Week.”
The selected hospitals are Largo Med and Morton Plant. Mike and Karen Silvernail are working on a route map and directions. Arrangements should be finalized within the next two days.
If you wish to participate in thanking these dedicated heroes, please contact Bruce Rauch at: brauch1@tampabay.rr.com or 727-576-9474.
The FSMGCC / Bruce & Berta Rauch have organized a “Care-a-van” drive-by for Friday, May 1, May Day at 7:00 PM. Our thought is to drive by two St. Pete hospitals, St. Anthony's and Bayfront as a tribute to their efforts in this COVID-19 crisis.
The plan to honor these local healthcare professionals and first-responders is coming together. We will gather in the North Shore Park parking lot, 901 North Shore Dr. NE. St. Petersburg, at 6:30 PM and start our drive about 6:50 PM. Each driver will have received a map via email so there is no need for a driver's meeting. We can maintain social distancing. Following the lead car, my blue MGA, from the staging area we will care-a-van to the two hospitals, St. Anthony’s and Bayfront/All Children’s, keeping our distance and wearing masks. Two loops will be made around each hospital. We are limiting the hospital visits to two so that the drive-bys can happen around 7:00 PM and we can still get home before dark. To tour these two facilities will take less than 30 minutes. The hospitals have been notified and will be expecting us.
Your creative display signs of “Thank You” and appreciation are good (see the attachment for ideas).
Even driving your Triumph or Jaguar is OK.
We want to thank these brave and dedicated people for their efforts and, also, we must exercise our LBCs to keep them healthy. This way we can do both.
Please RSVP to Ted Badger at: merited@verizon.net and Bruce Rauch at: brauch1@tampabay.rr.com by Wednesday 4/29/20.
Thank you
