JFF ~ JUST FOR FUN Kerry Foscardo, kerfos@aol.com

The past few weeks have reminded us that weather plays a big role in our lives. Thank goodness for
our friends in JFF to bring us laughs and fellowship when skies are sunny or occasionally gray.
However, our Club mascot, the pink flamingo, is usually wearing sunglasses and flip flops.

We have found a great place for our monthly Happy Hour while enjoying a view of Charlotte Harbor.
We will have social time at Scotty’s Brewhouse at Fisherman’s Village on Friday, October 6, at 5
p.m.

On October 24, we would love to have you join us for Octoberfest at Sandra’s Restaurant in Punta
Gorda. There will be a cash bar starting at 5 p.m., which will be followed by a group dinner. Come
enjoy the food and music of Germany with your JFF friends. Register on the JFF website and pay
early, as only 80 people can be accommodated at the restaurant.

Host & Toast is a wonderful way to meet a few other Club members while enjoying a good group
meal in the intimacy of a Club member’s home. To join the fun, contact Judy Gardner
at jnjgardner@gmail.com.
