J <br />Project <br />i <br />Or <br />af' <br />f <br />FIDE � <br />Of L PA CLU15 <br />_41 ' <br />Gilda's Club South Florida, named in honor of the late comedian, Gilda Radner, is one of <br />17 Clubs throughout North America, which provides a place where adults and children <br />living with cancer and their families and friends join with others for social and emotional <br />support as a supplement to medical care, free of charge. Gilda's Club South Florida offers <br />support groups, lectures, workshops, and social events in a conveniently located home- <br />like setting. <br />CGA had a dual role in renovating Gilda's Club. CGA applied for the Broward Beautiful <br />grant that is assisting improvements to the donated, historical property. CGA also provided <br />equal "in- kind" services to create landscaping. The improvements provide aesthetic <br />landscaping along the edge of the Tarpon River. <br />Constraints on the site include a sloped yard. CGA developed a level sodded area to <br />introduce useable space for activities. On the west side of the site, an historic vernacular <br />wall had been offset 7 feet from the property line and prohibited the utilization of the space. <br />So, CGA proposed pockets of seating areas where the wall would be removed and <br />reconstructed in a U- shaped form. This creates private outdoor seating area. <br />Client <br />Gilda's Club South Florida <br />Contact information <br />at time of project: <br />Joanne Welch <br />119 Rose Drive <br />Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 <br />954 763 6776 <br />Project Date <br />2003 <br />Amount of Grant <br />$5,500.00 <br />Services Provided <br />Grant application to Broward <br />Beautiful and Landscape <br />Design <br />Key Personnel <br />Dennis Giordano <br />Robin Banks <br />Tammy Cook, ASIA, RLA <br />Gianno Feoli <br />
