Dan Brubeck

Special recognition and gratitude were expressed to Dan Brubeck (the first Media and Communications Director), and Tom Cavanaugh (the first Resource Team Leader).

And TEAM President Roger Kress bid adieu to one of the organization's key founders, Dan Brubeck who, among other things, wants to catch up on his golf game.

Dan Brubeck, head of media relations and public education spoke of the wonderful coverage and assistance of the local media, particularly the Sun, in helping tell TEAM's story and keeping the public informed of various projects.He mentioned keeping informed via radio 1580 AM, with Charlie Shoe and Ann Henderson, who have been very helpful also.He likened the rebuilding and revitalizing of the city to blades of grass beneath the snow, alive and growing and getting ready to begin showing through.

Dan introduced Theresa Murtha, in charge of the TEAM Speakers Bureau, who explained the activities of this group, and that anyone desiring a speaker to update their organization, should just give her a call and she will make arrangements.She also discussed the volunteer opportunities in this area.

Team Punta Gorda's Dan Brubeck, team leader for communications, put it succinctly at the group's first annual meeting last fall."Think of blades of grass under snow," Brubeck told the more than 300 people who gathered at the PGI Civic Association building that evening.

Then, there are the day-to-day expenses that eat up funds."We've got the office (in Clock Tower Plaza), monthly bills, phone and lights," he said.

"We exceeded the match," Team Punta Gorda spokesman Dan Brubeck said Tuesday.

As far as the plan itself, Brubeck said a draft version has been developed and a formal presentation of the plan is expected at the City Council's June 15 meeting.
