This is an extremely belated thanks an update on the South Brevard Christmas Count. First, thanks so much to all of the volunteers who made it happen. Special thanks to Roy Book for handling the count in previous years, and for helping me through my first year. Special thanks also to the kind folks at the St. Sebastian River Preserve State park for providing vehicles and assistance with access to the park. And of course, thanks to all of the folks who counted.
