APOLLO BEACH – Dedicated to the business interests of the district and aiming to be a political voice for the area, the new SouthShore Chamber of Commerce has been formally initiated.

An “Ambassador Breakfast” here Friday morning officially marked unification of two former community chambers – Ruskin and Apollo Beach – as a single, larger organization with defined missions on behalf of the two distinct business centers.

For the time being, both chamber offices will remain open, continuing to function as before the two memberships voted to merge their efforts and resources, said Melanie Morrison, now executive director of the new entity.

How long this arrangement will be maintained is a matter of money, she indicated. Offices of the former Ruskin chamber on U.S. 41 at 4th Avenue are provided as a donation to the group, Morrison noted, while the presently rented quarters occupied by the former AB chamber in a business complex further north on U.S. 41 are paid for with chamber revenues.

The team of the new chamber executive remains essentially as before, with Patti Thornton, a banker at SunTrust Ruskin, as president, Joel Meek, with all groups Insurance Bay, AB, elected as president, and Tony Zipperer, Owner Zipperer Funeral Home in Ruskin, as treasurer.

The list of vice presidents to serve the business group also remains unchanged.  They include: Ron Simpson, Weichert Realtors, AB, charged with marketing and the ambassadors program; Brandy Evans, Kennco Manufacturing, Ruskin,  presiding over educational partnerships;  Tom Belisle, RBC Bank, Sun City Center, leading economic development; Sherell Bennett, South Bay Hospital, responsible for legislative affairs, and Tony Morejon, Hillsborough County government, Tampa, overseeing hispanic affairs.

One change has transpired within the ranks of other board members, however, Morrison said.Greg Conley, former President of the Chamber AB and operator of ITS Apollo Beach, was appointed to the board. He joined Larry Brooks, A & A mortgage financing, and SouthShore Tampa, Jason Chilson, a member of the Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation staff at EG Simmons Regional Park, Mike Langjahr, Sun City Center Funeral Home Charlie Lewis, Christ Community Church, AB, Gibsonton, and Gary Schumacher, Kaeser and Blair, Inc., AB.
