Education - The
September
meeting was held
at the PGICA and
was, as you might
expect, lightly
attended due to
the threat of
hurricane IRMA. The brave few who attended
were privileged to hear a presentation by
William Maymon from the Charlotte County
Sheriff’s Office discussing their programs and
activities. The presentation was interesting
and well received by the membership.

Cruising - There were no cruises scheduled for
September as everyone took a rest during the
peak hurricane month. However, the Islanders
plan to finish the year strong with nine cruises
scheduled. That is over three a month for the
end of the year.

Social - As with cruising, we have taken a break
during September with no social events
scheduled. The last three months of the year
have several events planned. Stay tuned.
