One of Tristan's team mates, Junior and his family (The Rivera's) from his soccer team have a fantastic show of Christmas lights at their house every year. He's been featured in the Tampa Tribune for the past 3 years, had a radio station out to his house last night, and In The Loop was out there 2 days ago taking pictures. He says it takes him about a month to put it all up but it's so worth it.

This year they are asking anyone that drives by to please donate to The Joshua House. The Joshua House is an emergency shelter in in North Tampa for abused, neglected, and abandoned children. Needed items are: unwrapped toys, new clothing, games, personal items, hair and skin care products, canned foods and other non-perishable items. (These items can be dropped off at any reasonable hour-there are carts outside for your convenience).

$$$$ Donations are desperately needed for the children as well. Please make checks payable to: The Joshua House. John (the father) told me last night so far they have over $2000.00 in donations and that's just by word of mouth because the Tampa Tribune hasn't come out with their holiday light list yet.

"This years collections will be in loving memory of Mrs. Mary Licenziato One of the most caring, giving and thoughtful people one could ever meet! Gods blessings to all and thank you for your support. The Rivera Family: Grace, John, Gabriella and Junior"
