GO is a group of entrepreneur-minded creative individuals who have joined forces to become an award-winning full-service marketing and communications agency with offices in Hartford, CT and Atlanta, GA. Since 2004, they’ve believed that their client’s goals come first – not their services. It’s easy to create cookie-cutter marketing solutions that fit every client. But GO are not ones to take the easy road. Instead, they approach each client open and fresh, building unique strategies based on your intended outcomes. And yes, they have all the internal marketing and communications capabilities to do so. But so do a lot of agencies. What makes GO different is their ability to use those capabilities – creatively, efficiently, successfully.

OUR MISSION

Guns To Hammers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides our wounded veterans with Americans With Disabilities (ADA)-compliant remodeling and renovation services, making their homes easily accessible, helping them live independent and manageable lives.

After founding H-Towne & Around Remodelers, Inc., a successful remodeling company in Houston, Texas, founder, JR Smith, decided to redirect his time, money and energy toward this mission. As a former U.S. Marine, coupled with some guilt that he was able to leave the USMC unhurt and able-bodied (unlike many), JR feels he has a huge sense of responsibility to his wounded brothers and sisters who are now living at home — many of them in need of various home improvements.

Your donation will help make this happen, sponsoring veterans across the United States, transforming homes — opening doors and possibilities — to our veterans who need it most. Many of our veterans made huge sacrifices to protect our freedoms — it’s our responsibility to ensure they are never left behind. Donate, today.

Ryan Marcell / Green Fin Paddle Co.

Convenient

No long drives in traffic to start your adventure (unless you want to). Choose from a large selection of our favorite launch points all over the Emerald Coast, Choctawhatchee Bay, rivers, bayous, or dune lakes. If you’re staying Gulf-front, we’ll come to you!

Value-Packed

Your Green Fin guide will be photographing your entire excursion. After your tour, your photos are made available to you digitally at no additional cost. No watermarks, they’re YOURS!

A Home Run

When looking for fun things to do on vacation, families often struggle to find common ground. Our SUP tours have something for everybody, so the entire crew can come together and create memories that will last a lifetime.

About Our Tours

Green Fin Paddle Company’s tours are a unique experience (no matter your skill level) for everyone to enjoy. You’ll get to stand-up paddle board at any of our beautiful locations on the Emerald Coast. Whether you choose to adventure the bayous, Bay, or Gulf you’ll have an experience you’re entire group will remember forever. We’ll even supply you with the photos taken by your guide of your one of a kind excursion.

Inexperienced? No problem! We’ll teach you what you need to know and as always, guide you along the way.

If you’re looking for something a bit different and exciting, or need to decompress while peacefully connecting with nature, a Green Fin paddle tour is just the adventure you need!

Start Time

This is the time we meet to begin our tour. We recommend arriving a little early, in case there is confusion on where to park and where to go. If our launch point has public restrooms (most do), this is last call to use it! Your guide will be in touch with you well before the day of your excursion to go over where we will specifically gather at first, as it is unique to each location. Do not bring valuables to the launch point. There is usually not a secure place to leave them. We advise that aside from your flip flops, you show up with only what you plan to take on the water.

We will issue boards, paddles, leashes, and PFDs to everybody, and will gather at the waters edge to go over safety procedures and current water/weather conditions, discuss the plan for our tour, and do a quick gear check. We’ll address any questions you may have and give some pointers for rookie paddlers, then we’ll hit the water!

Launch Time

This is the time we hit the water. For sunrise paddles it’s about 30 minutes before the sun appears, right at first light. For sunset paddles its about an hour before the sun begins to set.

We’ll cruise around for a while exploring and learning about the area, and settle into a good spot to hang out for a while while the sun does its thing. Then we’ll begin heading back, keeping an eye out for dolphins, turtles, fish, and any other cool things we can find!

Landing, and Post-Tour

Except for our multi-day tours, we’ll always land at the same place we launched from. We’ll gather up the equipment, and double check that we have accurate contact info for the head of your group. You see, we’ve been taking tons of pictures this whole time, and will be uploading them to Google Photos within the next 24 hours. We’ll send you a link to access them, which you are free to disburse to anyone you wish. The photos are yours, so you can download them, edit them, print them, and anything else you want to do with them. The only editing we’ll do before posting them is to delete the ones that are obviously garbage, and occasionally straighten an image. We take a TON of photos while we’re out there, so there are always plenty for the album.

At that point, your tour will be complete! We may follow up with a request for a review, and will hope that you enjoyed yourselves enough to tell a friend!

HISTORY

Pensacola Little Theatre has been providing live theatrical events to Pensacola for nearly 80 years. Our organization was formed in 1926 by a group of individuals at the San Carlos Hotel. The organization performed dramatic theatre for three years before the Great Depression. In 1936, after a period of “dark years,” the organization was reestablished through the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which created theatre companies across the country as part of the federal government’s recovery program after the Great Depression. Called the Civic Drama Players in the beginning, the organization was incorporated one year later as Pensacola Little Theatre, Inc.

PLT’s early performances were held in the old Chamber of Commerce auditorium and later at Pensacola High School. By 1949, the Board of Directors developed a plan for a home that Pensacola Little Theatre could call its own. In January of 1952, the first show opened in the Quonset, and our all-volunteer productions continued there through the 1970s.

Tell me how I can help make it possible

Want to help fight hunger in our community?

Help us provide your neighbors healthy food options. Manna is the only pantry in the region packing grocery bags using USDA Standards for a Healthy Diet. Every month with your help we provide 26,414 meals for 938 families in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Every day we see areas where we can have a greater impact. We have to reach the needs of more children, senior citizens and even military in our area.

The HAVEN Place LLC

Having relationship problems? Can’t relax, your mind always races, memories keep intruding and affect your work, family, or social life? Tried a variety of ways to fix it but nothing really worked? These are problems I can help you with.

I focus on what’s happened to you vs. what’s wrong with you in two primary areas – relationships and couples as well as trauma. In the process I also work with individuals and children. I’ve helped several thousand people regain their lives, just like this woman, and I can help you as well.

Couples I work with are often struggling with a lack of emotional and physical intimacy, they’ve lost respect and trust for each other, and have little companionship or communication. And they often have frequent arguments about finances, sex, children, social media, etc.

I help couples open up to each other, rebuild mutual respect, trust, and honesty, understand what’s not working in their relationship and why, help them come up with mutual solutions for their problems, and re-experience friendship and simple joy in just being with each other.

Past trauma, accompanied by grief, is all too often an underlying and untreated cause of relationship, work, and health problems. Many have ongoing struggles with mental health and substance use. They feel guilty, ashamed, stressed out, damaged, alone, confused, emotionally numb, can’t sleep or concentrate, have racing thoughts, have mood swings and anger issues, worry constantly. Alcohol or other substances may have helped to a point, but also caused other difficulties. They ‘ve tried psych meds, therapy, substance rehab but nothing has really worked. They want their lives back but feel lost and out of control.

I provide outpatient therapy to help my clients identify and address those underlying causes, work with them on eight aspects of wellness, help them restore emotional and physical balance, and in the process help people regain their lives and experience a renewed sense of joy, inner peace, calmness, self-control, purpose, and meaning.

What do I do differently than others? First, I don’t focus on mental disorders. I focus on what’s happened to people, not what’s wrong with them. I also consider and help my clients explore other possible causes. I get feedback each session from my clients about how they’ve done over the past week, as well as how they think I’m helping them in each session and we track and work those results. The therapy I do is structured and we stay focused on clients’ initial problems. While we work together on new problems as they arise we also stay focused on those primary problem areas.

The majority of those I’ve worked with over the years have had significant improvement, many 30-points or more compared to their pre-therapy scores in as little as 10 sessions.

Thank you for all you are doing for me, on and off the table. It means a lot to me. Kelly S. [former client]

Thank you Ray for everything. You have helped me so much. Billie G. [former client]

Have some questions or want some help? Send me an email asking for a free consultation. Include your availability in the coming week and I’ll respond within 24-hours with a day and time that works for both of us.
