WHEREAS, Jeanne and John Fitzgerald opened their doors for business on December 1,
1985, having purchased the Boardwalk Market from previous owners Val and Alice Litton ; and

to our peninsula, providing the basic necessities as well as the special products requested by a well-
travelled and diverse clientele; and

tutelage of Rory and now Karen Brock, it, too, became a mainstay for busy moms, tourists, workers and
residents who appreciate an already-prepared gourmet dinner or an excellent sandwich on the go; and
WHEREAS, the staff of the Boardwalk Market, Butcher & Deli have always been top of the
line in their knowledge of food and produce and exemplary in their customer service and friendliness;

Little League, "Walk N Roll" days at the Reed Union schools, and the greater community through its
support of Rotary Club programs and donations to the Ritter House and Human Concern Center of Marin;

independent grocery store,"

25 years of outstanding service to the Tiburon community;
