FLORIDIANS

Our mission is to provide social opportunities. Our goals are to make friends,
participate, learn, and enjoy life.

As September nears, those of us who have hung around to enjoy the summer
weather begin to think about three things. First is that hurricane season peaks this
month so we need to keep our emergency supplies well stocked. Second is that we
hope to see temperatures moderating and humidity dropping. Third is that we will
see a trickle of our “snowbird” friends coming back to PGI which signals the beginning of another “season.”

Over the summer several activities were
continued. Meet and Greet, Dine Around,
Ladies Lunch Out, and Food and Friends
were scheduled and by all reports well
attended. We certainly have members
enjoying activities throughout the summer
months. Mah Jongg has continued on a
regular basis.

Speaking of Mah Jongg, this is one of
those activities which keeps moving along
with little fanfare. Susan Berger
coordinates this activity and reports she
has a mailing list of 40 people. The
weekly Wednesday session is held at the
PGICA building and is open to all
Floridian members. Up to 24 players have
attended on Wednesday. Each week on
Sunday, players meet in private homes.
These sessions have a limited number of
players and reservations are necessary.
Susan sends out the announcement and
coordinates arrangements. Thank you,
Susan, for providing support for this
activity. Contact Susan Berger, 941-639-2330, if you have interest in the weekly Wednesday and Sunday sessions.

Joyce Gleason reports that Movie Time is
being scheduled for October 25. Watch for
more information on the return of this popular
activity.

This month’s pictures are from the “Cook out/
Eat in” event which was held in June. We had
a great turnout of over 60 people. Special
thanks to the cooks who braved the storm to
prepare the delicious burgers and knockwurst.
Thanks to Darlene for coordinating the activity.
