welcome...

to the Sirens of the Golden Sabre Krewe web site.

The purpose of this organization shall be to offer members an opportunity to be a part of a band of mystic sirens whose mission is one of common good to all, loyalty, trustworthy fellowship and mutual camaraderie. These shall be displayed in upright conduct and always in an endeavor to achieve fun, frivolity and friendship.

Membership shall be comprised of spirited, kind hearted, well-meaning women whose dedication to God and Country and having a good time shall prevail. The over-riding goal of each member shall be to end each day having done all to make their world and everyone in it happier by having met this Krewe member.

Membership to our Krewe is by invitation only!

 
You'll see the Sirens at every Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. In 2005, we walked along with Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio (second from right)!

Plans are in progress for our 4th Annual Benefit for Breast Cancer Research, called the Think Pink Benefit, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, October 18th, 2008. Our 3rd annual benefit was held Saturday, September 15, 2007 at Teco Plaza, and our primary beneficiary was Florida Suncoast Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure . The benefit - which raised over $15,000 - was sold out that year! At the 2006 Benefit - held Saturday, September 23, 2006 - our Sirens had a DGT, as always, and raised over $19,000 for the charity. A huge Thanks! to those who attended and the many individuals and businesses that gave items for our silent auction. For ticket info, email thinkpinktickets@sirenskrewe.org. If you have items for the charity auction, email auctioncoordinator@sirenskrewe.org. It's not too early to donate for this year's event!

This parade season, you saw the Sirens at the Gasparilla Children's Parade on January 19, the Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla's Gasparilla Day Parade on January 26, both of these along beautiful Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa. We were seen on 7th Avenue in Ybor City for both the Sant' Yago Illuminated Knight Parade on February 16, and the most awesome Rough Rider's St. Patrick's Day Parade on March 15. This year, for the first time, we joined in the Native American celebration with the Chasco Fiesta Street Parade on March 29 in New Port Richey.

This year is the 20th Anniversary of Paint Your Heart Out Tampa. The Sirens of the Golden Sabre participate every year, and it's one of our favorite events. This year's date is Saturday, April 19th. Our home is on Cord Street in east Tampa, and we're ready to "roll." In 2006, we worked at the home of Josephine N. on West Fern St. In 2005, on April 16, we worked for Peggy S. on W. Paris Street. On April 17, 2004, we painted for Mr. & Mrs. B. on E. Powhattan Ave. On April 5, 2003, we painted for Eugene J. on East Noel St. See the Photo Albums page for pics.

This past Christmas season, the Sirens were busy with their annual holiday charity events. We supported the Toy Drive lead by O'Brien's Irish Pub, who held their 6th annual event this past year. This Toy Drive benefits the E.C.H.O. Foundation, Hillsborough County Crisis Center, Mary Help of Christian School, and Brandon and Plant City hospitals. The Sirens helped the O'Briens host the event at their pubs in Brandon and Plant City. Our Krewe also adopted a family through Sincerely Santa, providing them with a Thanksgiving feast and gifts for all the family at Christmas.
