Throughout the past few weeks, I have been showered with love and reminded of what an institution the Tides is. This is my legacy, but I did not do it alone.
All my staff throughout the years, and to all of you: I am beyond grateful for your support, love, compassion and loyalty.
We have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity; we have hosted toy drives and food drives; created a space for artists and entertainers alike to foster their talents; gave the little league a place to splash around; sponsored a volleyball team; we were the place were you got married, celebrated your birthday, held your baby shower; we have laughed, cried, fought, forgave and hugged; we took bathroom selfies; we yelled and screamed in every parade; we helped neighbors when they were in need; we had holidays together and so much more.
We are the definition of community. We are a family. I will be eternally grateful.
With much love,
Ryan
