Tom Corr Memorial

This award is given annually to that TSS member who, in the opinion of the Commodore was most helpful during the Commodore's Watch. Tom Corr is memorialized for his strong support of the Tampa Sailing Squadron. Mr. Corr's most significant contribution to the Club was the Deed of Gift of one and one-half acres of property that constitutes the heart of Club facilities. TSS would not be what it is without this contribution.
