Hello Gators,
Our club is offering so many
exciting events and trips this year
that there is something for
everyone! Please visit our website,
sign up for our weekly email blast,
and look through our newsletter to
find out about them.
Please keep spreading the word about what we have to offer
to your friends and co-workers. The larger our membership
grows, the more fun events we can offer for your entertainment
and enjoyment.
The closing of the North Palm Beach Country Club has been
postponed until the end of January. It will not reopen for at least
18 months. Our final meeting there will be in January. Starting in
February, we will be moving to the Marriott in Palm Beach
Gardens.
The Gators will celebrate the start of our fall season with an
exciting free party with the theme of “It’s All About the Fun!” on
the evening of Saturday, September 23rd. This amazing event,
organized by your VP of Socials / VP of Special Activities, Debbi
Haselmire, will showcase our ski trips, special activities trips, and
socials. We will be entertained on the dance floor by an
incredible DJ, Bone Daddy Dave.
Join your fellow Gators for a fun-filled weekend from October
6th-8th as the pirates invade Ft. Myers Beach. Our motel is in the
heart of the festival and walking distance to beach, shops, and
restaurants. The Pirate Fest event features a pub quest crawl,
pirate's ball, sea battles, marketplace, and entertainment. Please
contact event organizer Debbi Haselmire for more information.
Coming up on Saturday, October 28th is our Halloween Party
at the American Legion Hall in Tequesta. The theme is “A Blast
from the Past,” where you can take a step back in time to the
great decades of the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s & 80’s, and dress up in your
favorite retro costume…poodle skirt, beatnik, hippie, disco,
rocker, punk….let your imagination run wild! There will be prizes
for the best costumes. This fun party will feature a DJ, food, and
a cash bar. The deadline to sign up and pay is October 26th, so
please don’t delay. This fun event is not to be missed!
Our 2018 winter ski destinations include Winter Park, Colorado;
Steamboat, Colorado; Andorra and Barcelona, Spain; Taos, New
Mexico; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; and Sierra Nevada, Spain. Two
trips, Jackson Hole and Sierra Nevada, are taking wait list
applicants. Please sign up soon to get the trip of your choice.
Please visit our website, read our weekly email blast, and download
our newsletter regularly to keep up with our trips.
Look for our new, spectacular Special Activities trips to exotic
destinations coming up in 2018. Our cruise to Cuba in April and our
Danube Bike and Barge in September are already listed on our
website. Our New Zealand trip will be up soon.
The Gators have been experiencing an awesome August with two
major trips and two beachfront getaways. I was privileged to be part
of the Alaska trip, and enjoyed fabulous scenery on a marvelous
cruise and land package with other Gators. (I thank our Past
President, Evie Houston, for leading the August meeting in my
absence.) Club members also just returned from the fabulous Valle
Nevado, Chile trip led by Lee Chitty. Everyone had a wonderful
time. Thank you, Lee, for doing a great job! Our beachfront getaway
weekends, the Weekend Getaway to Pirate's Cove in Port Salerno
and the Key Largo Adventure Weekend, were also fantastic. Kudos
to Lee Chitty for leading the first one and to Deb Haselmire for
organizing the second.
Thank you, Ben Smith, for organizing the Blue Jeans Night Out in
August. Everyone had a great time, and we all enjoyed the snacks
and each other’s company. Come to our regular Friday night happy
hours, arranged for you by Debbi Haselmire with input from the
Social and Special Activities Committee. Happy hour is a great way
to start the weekend with your Gator friends. We have included
some new and exciting venues mixed in with club favorites. If you
have any ideas for happy hours, please contact Debbi.
The volunteers on our Social and Special Activities Committee
are working hard to bring you great parties, events, and trips this
year. If you have an idea for an event, please bring it to the
committee. If you would like to get more involved, please join the
committee, volunteer to lead an event or trip, or offer to assist other
officers. We are looking for volunteers to help us with our events, so
please watch for our next meeting. Help us to make your club even
better.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
Sincerely,
Sharon Long President
