From the Board of Directors of the Emerald Coast Southern Gospel Music Association

Thank you to all the artists, ECSGMA members and fans who participated in the 12th Annual ECSGMA Jubilee Weekend. I know we say this every year but this was the best Jubilee yet. The facts are, they do get better every year, in numbers, in fellowship and in atmosphere that surrounds this event. Congratulations to all the winners in the Beacon Awards

Thanks to Ronnie and Darlene Castille for their dedication to all the details of tickets, paperwork and scheduling for the weekend. You two were sent by God to help.

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Brooks for providing food for all the hungry artists backstage, and there were some hungry artists. You may have been the reason they all did so well on stage.

Thanks to WJHG and WTVY along with Cricket Lee for help with TV advertising Thanks to One Stop Flowers for the beautiful plants that decorated the stage.

Thanks to Michael Frank and Fresh Anointing for all the tech support at the Marina Civic Center. Michael took care of all the video screens and provided word monitors for the Phil Cross Jubilee Choir. Also Thanks to David and Lisa Wiggins for their great work on designing and printing the program book.

Thanks to all the association members who worked so diligently to make sure Jubilee went so well. It's because of you that it all works, it's because of Christ that we serve.

Thanks to Tom Hoots for adding the music clips to the Beacon Award presentation. Your contribution made a big difference in the excitement and professionalism of the event
