SAND SCOOPS January 19, 2006 Volume 4, Issue 2 A NEWSLETTER FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF ORANGE BEACH “Opening the Orange Beach Golf Center is another step in making Orange Beach the best place to live, work and play. By year’s end we hope to reopen the golf course with new challenges on the course.

Parading in Orange Beach is set for Tuesday, February 28 at 1:30pm from Live Bait to Rite Aid on Perdido Beach Boulevard. Many organizations have made major improvements to their floats and entries as the event will be larger that ever with our accommodations at high occupancy this year. The Mystics of Pleasure parade will be held on Saturday night, February 25 starting around 5:30 from Ruby Tuesday to SanRoc Cay on Perdido Beach Boulevard. This is a unique, nighttime lighted parade with lots of fun, floats, bands and plenty of throws for all ages.

Mayor Steve Russo was heard saying “this is one of the most unique presentations I can ever remember”. Orange Beach Golf Center—Driving Range Opens The City of Orange Beach is proud to enter the golf market with the OB Golf Center. The first several weeks of operation at the driving range have proven that there is a need for such a facility and the feedback is well received. Lunch duffers are finding out that this is a great place to spend some time during the day and late nighters can enjoy the range till 9pm nightly. A bucket of 34 balls is only $3 and the automated system makes it easy to get started. If you have always wanted to learn how to play golf, this Golf Center will allow all skill levels to progress. Call 981-GOLF to get more info. City Supports OBES Professional Development with $25K The City of Orange Beach made a $25,000.00 donation to the faculty and staff of Orange Beach Elementary School on Tuesday, January 10, 2006. City Council Member Pete Blalock and City Administrator Jeff Moon made the presentation to Principal Steve Baker and members of the faculty.
