Hundreds of people lined up this year at the 14th Annual SBT Thanksgiving Dinner to eat good food and celebrate the North Greenwood community. A stage and buffet line were set up across the street from SBT's factory in Clearwater, Florida. Clearwater Mayor, Goerge Cretekos, along with police officers and other valuable community members, like O'Neal Larkin, welcomed guests and expressed gratitude. Greg Pickren, president of SBT, spoke at the event: One of the things that makes this event really special is that everyone is welcome. It doesn't matter if you're from North Greenwood or from a surrounding community. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor. It doesn't matter if you're black or white. It doesn't matter if you're a Muslim or a Christian, gay or straight, documented or undocumented. Everybody here is welcome; and that's a special thing. SBT's home is North Greenwood. We've been a sponsor of this event since it started 14 years ago. SBT was started in the building right behind us 20 years ago. Today, SBT is the largest supplier of jet ski engine parts in the word. Right here in North Greenwood we have a world-class company making world-class products with world-class employees. During the past 20 years we have worked really hard together to make North Greenwood a better place and today I'm honored to welcome everyone here to gather and celebrate together.
