| 2004 | Nicholas S. Martin Nick's project beneficiary was Tamiami Park. Nick landscaped the entrance to the rec room which was completely barren. This was a major undertaking and he spent several weekends putting in railroad ties as a border to prevent people from cutting through the plants and creating an aesthically pleasing entry way. |

| 2007 | John M. Molin John's project beneficiary was the City of Coral Gables Youth Center. He added signs and descriptions to explain the use of the various exercise areas on the trail around the perimeter of the Youth Center. This included mixing cement, leveling the poles and then installing the signs as well as applying mulch and adding some flowers around the base of each of the 9 signs. |

| 2008 | Michael A. Callobre Mike's project beneficiary was the City of Coral Gables Rotary Park. The park was originally two homes which were removed and thus left two separate and distinctive "lots." Removing trees and bushes and connecting the two areas to create a path with railroad ties, a bench and flowers, made this into "one" beautiful area to enjoy north of Eighth street on Ponce de Leon Boulevard. |

| 2008 | Daniel A. Lorenzo Dany's project beneficiary was St. Michael's Catholic Church on Flagler Street. Dany's family are long time members of the church and Dany found the Father very easy to work with. He landscaped the entrance to the church with flowering trees and palms on either side of the front doors. This makes it very pleasing now to wait in front of the church as you are waiting to enter. He also added some beautiful bouganvilla to large concrete planters closer to Flagler. |

| 2008 | Matthew R. DeGarmo Matt's project beneficiary was Bay Point School in Goulds, Florida. Matt built a total of 8 picnic tables for an area where the kids are allowed to have visitors on the weekends, making it a nice place to sit and talk and enjoy their visitations in a better fashion. |

| 2008 | Dario "DD" Pedrajo DD's project beneficiary was the City of Coral Gables. DD utilized the 12 canoes owned by Troop 7 by organizing a clean up of the Coral Gables Waterway. The canoes were launched at the Little Girl Scout House at the corner of Bird and Red Road. Approximately 10 bags of trash were collected between the launch point and Doctor's Hospital, near the University of Miami Campus. |

| 2009 | William "Trae" Kerdyk Trae's project beneficiary was the City of Coral Gables Trae had to obtain permission from both the City of Coral Gables and Miami-Dade County in order to install monofilament line recycling bins along the Coral Gables Waterway. These recycling bins are a Florida State wide program and more information can be found on their web site: myfwc.com/mrrp/ Obtaining permissions was a complicated process that took Trae over a year to coordinate. Once all parties agreed Trae proceeded and decided to add a clean up portion to his project as well. Two bins were installed at Coco Plum Circle on either side of the bridge. There was |

| 2009 | Geronimo L. Fernandez Geronimo's project beneficiary was the Coral Gables Woman's Club Geronimo worked with a State of Florida Arborist, and Scouter, Bob Brennan, former Scoutmaster of Troop 21 in Coconut Grove, in order to obtain expert advice on landscaping a difficult area on the north entrance of the Historic Coral Gables Woman's Club, started in 1923 and built in 1937. Due to construction that was performed to improve the circular driveway entrance under cover, there was too much sand in the soil. Geronimo dug up the old soil and mixed it with new fresh black dirt, so that the landscaping would "take" to the area and improve the beauty to the front of the Club. In addition to the landscaping, he also pressure cleaned the front of the building (coral rock) as well as the historic fountain dedicated to Eunice Merrick, and the cement sign. The sign was also carefully repainted and brought back to it's original brillance. You can view the club on their web site: CoralGablesWomansClub.org |

| 2010 | Dalmiro Desiano Dalmiro Desiano's Eagle Project benefited the Coral Gables Women’s Club, a 501(c)3 in the heart of Coral Gables on East Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Dalmiro's project landscaped two large areas on both sides of the Club. On the East, which is the exterior of the May Van Sickle Dental Clinic, and on the West, where an unsightly propane tank sits outside the South wing of the building which was the original Coral Gables Library, built by George Merrick in 1937. Dalmiro's landscaping was planned to hide the large propane tank in the front while beautifying the entire unsightly area. The East wing of the Coral Gables Women’s Club contains a back entrance to the building, which houses the dentist clinic, providing free dental care to underprivileged children since 1939. His project greatly enhanced both sides of the building, improving its overall appearance. You can view the club on their web site: CoralGablesWomansClub.org |

| 2010 | Alexander Tames Alexander Tames' project also beautified the exterior of the Coral Gables Woman's Club, so as to increase the number of people renting the facility for weddings, birthdays and all kinds of other revenue generating events. By renting the facility, the Club supports the cost of both maintaining the Historic buildings and running the non-profit Dental Clinic. Alex added to the previous two landscaping projects (both Dalmiro's and Geronimo Fernandez's before him) tying everything together to make it even more appealing and uniform throughout the entire property. Alex also cleaned the facade by pressure cleaning the coral rock exterior. He laid down mulch around existing plants from a previous project, while pressure cleaning the moldy coral rock walls, and placing new plants and flowers in freshly mulched areas. His renovation to the Coral Gables Woman’s Club did a great service to our community, by giving the Club a more appealing fresh clean look while enhancing the grounds and building.
