    We are considering a trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto for 2027 and are trying to gage member support for it.  Please let me know if you would be interested.

     

    We have a local Special Activities event that is mentioned elsewhere in this blast and is posted on our website:

    ·         Weekend at Manatee Landing on June 12-14, 2026

     

    We also have a Social event on our calendar:

    ·         Happy hour this Friday at Double Roads

     

    Please join us at our happy hours.  You can meet other members and make new friends or reconnect with old ones!  I would like to thank Letti Falko, Lorain Lyon, Marcie Cole and Ben Smith for their ongoing help as Gator Happy Hour Ambassadors. 

     

    I will continue to plan our weekly Friday night happy hours.  Our VP of Socials, Lisa Smelcher, will be organizing some occasional Saturday happy hours.

     

    I am looking forward to seeing you at some of our events and meeting our new members.

     

    Thank you,

    Sharon Long
