Hey All,
As I mentioned to you in some of my past blogs, I am trying to become very active in the community in which I am currently living. One of the recent clubs I joined is the Patrick Air Force Base Marina and Yacht Club. The monthly membership is very nominal (only $ 9 per month). After you become a member you get so many benefits. Every Friday afternoon beginning at 5 PM and ending at 9 PM they have a social with live music and a cash bar which is outside under the Tiki huts and is adjacent to the boat marina and then inside they have another cash bar with free finger food such as chicken wings, meatballs, and a few other side dishes like potato salad or coleslaw. They also have a weekly free raffle where you have a chance to win from $ 100 to $ 1,000. As a member, you also get a free buffet breakfast at the club on the second Saturday of each month. In addition, they have 4 quarterly member appreciation events with free food as well as other special free complementary parties for Halloween, Christmas, etc; Every Wednesday, the have a Trivia game night where teams compete with one another for door prizes and then on Sunday afternoons the club provides free food and has a cash bar so people can hang out and just watch the football games on large screens with friends. On Thursday evenings they have a pot luck and people can bring a side dish to share with others and they have a dedicated chef that will grill any meat you bring for yourself at no charge. I am sure there are also many other benefits of joining this club which I am sure I will eventually learn about.
I am copying to this blog a series of photos from yesterday’s Friday night event for your enjoyment. Have a great weekend !
Luv Gary

It really seems such a happy atmosphere – I’m so glad that you have landed in this warm friendly place now – just what was needed and your introvert self is going to have a hard job hiding away with such friendly people wanting to share good times with you xo

I agree Osyth. Need to take full advantage the social opportunities and continue to get out there and meet new people. Not good to just stay home alone and let myself become depressed. Gary
