dedication. They made some new and exciting decisions which
improve our behind the scenes ways and means. CABA - Count on it!

the needs of our Gulf Coast neighbors by raising over $100,000 and
donating hundreds of man-hours via their individual businesses. |

CABA's alliances with other Tampa
organizations give members even greater networking opportunities.

admirable occasion.

Flags For Dale Mabry -- What A Sight
Partners In Patriotism -
Carrollwood Shows Its
Patriotic Pride - 2001 |

Photo by Barton Workman Photography |
|
During November 2001 through May 2002 CABA and it's members along with many
individuals and other businesses from our community rallied together to have
American flag banners installed along our major thoroughfare, North Dale
Mabry Highway. Flags hung there for the first time in history covering
nearly three miles of roadway. Once removed, the banners were presented to
those who supported the project and became a significant memento of the
September 11, 2001 tragedy that our country endured. |
