From
the hearts of all the members of the Gulf Coast Billiards Association
of Jackson County,
we wish
to express our warmest gratitude for your kindness. Following a
very difficult time, you have
given us
a ray of hope in starting anew. It is difficult to express our thankfulness.
Things of monetary
value seem
petty, and words do not say enough. With much thought, we would
like to present you
with a gift
of sentimental value from our league; our Traveling Trophy.
At the
end of each season, we present captains plaques, sportsmanship
plaques, and sponsorship
plaques.
We award trophies to our top male and female players, and to the
top five ranked teams. The
Traveling
Trophy is then presented to the number one ranked team. It is placed
in their sponsoring
establishment
for the duration of the next season. It has been with our league
since our first season in
1997, and
carries on it the names of the winning teams of each season. It
is always displayed with great
pride.
For the
first time since the league began, our league will not be able
to complete a season due
to Hurricane
Katrina. Without a winning team, we do not feel that it is appropriate
for the trophy to be
displayed
in any single sponsoring establishment.
With
the exceptional gift you have given us, the members of the G.C.B.A.J.C.
feel that you
are the
champion of champions. We have proudly placed your name as the final
entry on our Traveling
Trophy.
This
symbolizes the end of an era, and the beginning of a new and better
era. In the early
months
of 2006, we will begin a new season with new McDermott cues, a new
Traveling Trophy, and
new hope
for a better tomorrow.
Again,
thank you for your tremendous act of kindness. You will forever
be in our hearts.
Sincerely,
Gulf Coast Billiards Association of Jackson County
