Water Wonderland Winnies Newsletter
Look at this fine group enjoying the Florida sunshine. We tried to contact everyone who
belongs to WWW in Florida, and meet for lunch once a month. (You may notice that up north
groups met for dinner. When you get in Snow Bird country, eating is done in the daylight.)
We met for our first
lunch on Tuesday,
January 26th in Plant
City at Johnson
Barbeque. From L to R
are Ed and Marty
Senkowski, George
and Rosa Krec, Jan and
Bob Ziegler, Pat and
Jim Milroth, Bev and
Bob Garcia, Virginia
and Gary Kingsley,
Steve Van Hart, Nancy
Yates, Becky and Butch
Moore (our former Eastern Area Reps), and Sandy and Rich Hilton (Presidents’ Club). Willing
to squat for the good of the group were Joy and Dan Stolz and Skip Yates. After eating
lunch, most of us went to Parkesdale Farm Market for strawberry shortcake.
Left table sat in couples. From front to back: Jim and Pat Milroth, George and Rosa Krec, Dan and Joy Stolz, Bruce
and Sandy Moore, Mike and Nancy Barnes, and Bob and Bev Garcia. Right table from L to R: Mary and Joe Periard,
Chip from Rally’s “R” Us (He can’t get away from us.), Skip Yates, Phil and Pam Scramlin, and Nancy Yates.
We did have dinner in February, while we were in Sarasota for the Florida State Rally. The
night before the rally started, nineteen of us met at Yoder’s and found out we would have to
wait in line. You can never say we aren’t flexible when it comes to food, so we moved to
Der Dutchman around the block for a great Amish buffet.
At “Club” night at the Florida Rally, we got to sit together, and wear our WWW shirts. Not
everyone from
Michigan was
sitting with us,
because several
couples were
sitting with the
local Florida
groups they have
joined. (The
Daltons and
Periards. The
Periards had to
work, while we just
enjoyed.)
From L to R: Bob and Bev Garcia, Joy and Dan Stolz, Skip Yates, Richard Martin and Pat Grau (WWW),
Betty Thompson (former WWW member), Nancy Yates is hiding, Rosa and George Krec, Pat and Jim
Milroth, and Butch Moore – not our area rep anymore, but still a WWW member.
Our March luncheon was at The Cheesecake Factory in Brandon. We had plenty to eat for
lunch, but then just had to try the cheese cake. It was fantastic!
We were going to try to get a group picture of us standing, but no one wanted to leave the
table to quit
eating dessert.
L to R: Pat
Grau, Nancy
Yates, Sandy
Hilton, Pat and
Jim Milroth,
Steve Van Hart,
Rich Hilton,
Skip Yates, and
Richard Martin.
The Ostyns met up
with the Garcias in
St. Augustine, and
enjoyed wine
tasting and the
trolley ride through
town. They visited
the Old Jail and
Gator Bob’s.
The Hoags got to come down for a
visit, and guess what they did? They
had lunch with the Kingsleys and
Garcia in Dade City. They then
traveled south to Fort Myers and met
with the Periards, Moores, Brydes, and
Daltons.
I apologize for reporting on Florida
only, but then again, that’s where I
got the pictures from (and I stole
some from facebook.) Can’t wait
until May, when I can include gossip
and pictures about everyone!
