What is the HUB Club?
What is the HUB Club, why should I attend,
what do they do, the questions go on and on?
The Club is seeking new members from
Sleepy Hollow Mobile Estates. Come to the clubhouse on Monday morning, enjoy the fellowship,
have a coffee and donut, if you desire but, come
and get to know your neighbors. The HUB Club is
park is a member, all are welcome.
The last surviving founding member of the
original HUB Club came to a meeting, a few years
ago, to present a program on the founding of the
Club. What is the HUB Club? The answers are in
the following article.
Reprinted from the February,
2008 issue. Prepared from
the HUB Club, January 21,
2008, at the age of 96.
Norman Roy celebrated his 96th birthday
attending the HUB Club
and being serenaded by the
HUB Club Chorus, singing
Happy Birthday. He noted
that the chorus has made
great strides since its
founding. (This photo is

A group of four early residents of Sleepy
December, 1974.
More than thirty residents of the park
unanimously agreed to start the club on December
28, 1974. On the first Monday of January, 1975 the
club was officially founded. The first President was
Vance Swanson, the first Vice President was Norman Roy. The club had no name and the majority of
President Swanson came up with an idea
and told the members that he would present it at the
next meeting to see if they liked his idea. At that
first meeting in January, 1975, the name of HUB
Club was presented. The members were puzzled by
this strange name. It was explained that Zephyrhills
is the Hub of south central Florida. We are close to
Busch Gardens in Tampa, Disney World in
Orlando, Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven and
Weeki-Wachi Springs in Spring Hill.
With this explanation, they voted unanimous
HUB Club ever since.
The founding fathers could not have known
how much the area would grow over the next 30+
years [now, nearly 40 years] and how much of a
HUB Sleepy Hollow would really become. How
could our location be any more convenient? Not
only to the entertainment centers, but the medical
centers, the shopping centers, and much more.

Thank You for Remembering
Sharon Simmons asked for help to send
some Christmas spirit to her grandson, Cpl. William
(Mike) Simmons and the other Marines in his unit.
The platoon consists of 15 members in 1st Recon on
duty in Afganistan. She asked for items to send,
including Christmas cards, personal hygeine items
and foods. She reports a great variety of foods that
will be a big reminder of home. In all, there were
more than 250 Christmas cards, and ten large boxes
of items for the troops. There were many
contributors, from all three parks. Shipping was
paid by the HUB Club with help from Mark Ford of
maintenance. The Ladies Club purchased items to
add to the packages. Sharon Simmons mailed the
boxes from
on 5th Avenue, they
contributed the shipping cost for three boxes. Thank
you very much!
Bob Smith Achieves State Amateur Title
player and he has recently earned the title of State
Amateur. Bob, and his wife Donna, moved to
Sleepy Hollow Park 2 in 2000.
They were both introduced to
Shuffleboard. He joined the B
Park League and won a trophy in
the novice tournament in 2001,
he instantly became hooked on
Shuffleboard.
In 2002 he teamed up
with his good friend Ted Traviss,
playing in both the five and eight park leagues and
tournaments. They have been terrorizing the
member parks ever since.
Last season he gathered enough points to
play in the District Amateur. Going into the 201112 season he lacked one point for the title State
Amateur. Bob gained that point by placing third in
the main event at the Winter Haven Amateur Draw
Tournament in early December.
Bob and Donna play in a league two days a
week in Mt. Clemens, MI. Congratulations Bob!
