AS AN ARISTOCRAT BY BIRTH AND OFFICER IN THE SPANISH NAVY, GASPAR WAS WELL EDUCATED, POSSESSED COURTLY MANNERS, AND HAD ALL THE APPEARANCES OF A FINE GENTLEMAN. WHEN JOSE GASPAR DIED, HE SUPPOSEDLY LEFT AN UNTOLD FORTUNE IN BURIED TREASURE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE FLORIDA COAST. THOUGH THAT TREASURE HAS NEVER BEEN DISCOVERED, THE STORY OF THE SWASHBUCKLING GASPAR WAS UNEARTHED AND HIS MEMORY REVIVED IN 1904 WHEN YE MYSTIC KREWE OF GASPARILLA WAS FORMED AND ADOPTED THE PIRATE AS PATRON ROGUE OF THEIR CITY-WIDE CELEBRATION. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)INSPIRED BY THE LEGEND, THE ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO ENRICHING THE VITALITY AND IMAGINATION OF TAMPA AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. EACH YEAR THE KREWE PARTNERS WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA, U.S. COAST GUARD, AND DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO SPONSOR THE GASPARILLA INVASION AND PARADE, THE THIRD LARGEST IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE LANDFALL OF THE JOSE GASPARILLA PIRATE SHIP AND THE CHILDREN'S PARADE FIREWORKS SHOW HAVE BECOME TOURISM ICONS. WHEN NOT HOSTING THEIR ANNUAL CHILDREN'S PARADE AND PIRATE INVASION AND PARADE, THE KREWE MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY AND CHARITY EVENTS THROUGH SPECIAL APPEARANCES IN TAMPA BAY AND THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. KREWE MEMBERS, IN PIRATE ATTIRE, REGULARLY VISIT HOSPITALS, ASSISTED LIVING CENTERS, CHILDREN'S VENUES, AND SCHOOLS, ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY IN THE SPIRIT AND FUN OF GASPARILLA EVENTS. THE KREWE ALSO CARRIES ON ITS SOCIAL TRADITION WITH THE ANNUAL DEBUTANTE AND CORONATION BALLS.IN ADDITION, YMKG WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ESTABLISHING THE INTER-KREWE COUNCIL, WHICH HAS GROWN TO INCLUDE MORE THAN 60 OTHER KREWES. EACH KREWE IS ORGANIZED FOR SPECIFIC CHARITABLE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PURPOSES. THE KREWE OWNS AND MAINTAINS THE JOSE GASPAR, A FULL-RIGGED PIRATE SHIP, AS A TOURIST ATTRACTION. IN 1911 A SHIP WAS USED FOR THE FIRST TIME BY YMKG TO CAPTURE THE CITY OF TAMPA, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 1937 THAT THE KREWE OWNED ITS FIRST VESSEL, THE JOSE GASPARILLA I. IN 1954, YMKG COMMISSIONED THE BUILDING OF THE WORLD'S ONLY FULLY RIGGED PIRATE SHIP, JOSE GASPARILLA II, WHICH WAS CHRISTENED DURING THE KREWE'S 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY. DURING THE YEAR, THE SHIP IS DOCKED AT THE TARPON WEIGH STATION ON BAYSHORE BOULEVARD FOR THE PUBLIC'S VIEWING PLEASURE. THE KREWE HOSTS AN ANNUAL CORONATION BALL TO RECOGNIZE THEIR INCOMING "CEREMONIAL" KING, QUEEN, AND ROYAL COURT. THIS BALL WAS HELD AT THE TAMPA CONVENTION CENTER AND WAS ATTENDED BY 1,000 YMKG MEMBERS AND ASSORTED GUESTS. THIS WAS AN INVITATION-ONLY AFFAIR THAT INCLUDED FOOD, BEVERAGES, AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. THIS EVENT WAS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 58 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 153004 288233 0 0 0 X 17 17 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 FL X MELANIE WERNER ACCOUNTANT 8132514500 1114 W CASS ST TAMPA FL 33606 ANDREW V PITTMAN PRESIDENT/CAPTAIN 8.00 X X 0 0 0 CLAY O THOMAS VICE PRESIDENT 0.50 X X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN D MACKIE TREASURER/1ST LIEUTENANT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER T ABRUNZO SECRETARY/2ND LIEUTENANT 0.50 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT B GOUGH III DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 PETER J GARDNER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHARLES N STALLINGS III DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CARLOS J ALFONSO DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 VINCENT M CHILLURA DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHARLES M DAVIS III DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOHN T DELAVERGNE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DREW A GRAHAM DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER C KETCHEY DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 RYAN POE REYNOLDS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ROBERT BURTON TUTTLE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 PETER W LACKMAN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 T TRUETT GARDNER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 SCOTT F BOOS PAST PRESIDENT (TERM END 4/3/24) 0.50 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY S ANNIS DIRECTOR (TERM END 4/3/24) 0.50 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM P CURTIS DIRECTOR (TERM END 4/3/24) 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOHN JOSEPH LANGFORD DIRECTOR (TERM END 4/3/24) 0.50 X 0 0 0 ANDREW REY JR DIRECTOR (TERM END 4/3/24) 0.50 X 0 0 0 DONALD J BARNES EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.00 X 152185 0 5131 MELANIE H WERNER ACCOUNTANT 24.00 X 60285 0 1808 212470 0 6939 1 0 1 0 TAMPA YACHT & COUNTRY CLUB 5320 INTERBAY BLVD TAMPA FL 33611 EVENT FACILITY, FOOD & BEVERAGE 402911 BAY STAGE LIVE 4008 W ALVA ST TAMPA FL 33614 LIGHTING, STAGING & SOUND 318902 JW MARRIOT WATER STREET 510 WATER ST TAMPA FL 33602 EVENT FACILITY, FOOD & BEVERAGE 267411 GULF MARINE REPAIR 1800 GRANT ST TAMPA FL 33605 SHIP REPAIR & MAINTENANCE, TUG BOATS 261838 ARAMARK 333 S FRANKLIN ST TAMPA FL 33602 CATERING 105954 5 MEMBERSHIP DUES 713990 2507916 2507916 EVENT FEES 713990 354130 354130 2862046 93492 93492 7800 0 7800 7800 7800 159897 133210 26687 26687 PARADE SPONSOR RIGHTS 713990 280433 280433 ADMINISTRATIVE FEES 713990 7850 7850 459 459 288742 3278767 2897042 381725 0 28108 219121 343993 8334 38212 42549 15481 29185 3721 43408 63156 19163 46401 2518 129862 572 148426 264850 INCOME TAXES 43441 PARADE EXPENSES 825565 BALL EXPENSES 735514 KING AND QUEEN ALLOWANC 153009 130970 3335559 6465 3266 2941150 3174001 64006 22500 113542 33583 49759 26189 37778 45888 4712176 2466586 2385372 2245590 141613 153958 5739685 5704975 17080 41473 8186 10350 35605 29088 60871 80911 X 4645893 4538976 1032921 1085088 5678814 5624064 5739685 5704975 X -56792 2042 X X 0 1 X 1 0 547462 547462 2638663 1201396 1437267 18000 13140 4860 1479507 1227652 251855 28544 24398 4146 2245590 INCOME TAXES PAYABLE 6608 LEASE LIABILITIES 22480 29088 X 3187763 62000 62000 3125763 153004 153004 3278767 3395517 62000 -2042 59958 3335559 0 3335559 PART X, LINE 2: THE KREWE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(7) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
