PRESIDENT’S
CORNER
Here we are already October and seeing some of the
seasonal members returning, WELCOME BACK. Once
again you as members showed what this club is all
about, donating 147 pints of blood that will change some
ones life that needed help. Then we had the Hospice Golf
tournament which was a huge success again helping a
great organization that is there in a time of need, truly
angels, and last but not least Camp Boggy Creek that
helps critically ill children, with a big thanks to Cody's for
a fun night out and supporting our charities. We thank all
of you, the great members of this club for your support.
But now some fun times with the Halloween party
October 10th, 5 O'clock pool party at the Waterfront Inn
October 16th , tickets going on sale for the Christmas
Party ( must have three or more point to purchase in the
first month), tickets still available to Ybor City, and St
Augustine Christmas Light Trip just starting.
The response to the new music at the Phlockings has
been outstanding and we are going forward in 2016 with
ever more changes to that. It's because we listen to you
the members and make the changes you would like if
possible.
It will be an exciting next three months as we close
out another great year.
