The main purpose for this gathering is the formation of a chapter, but we will have time for fun things to do too. We are right on the ocean (cookout on the beach)......boating excursions (2-1/2 hour lunch cruise around the outer islands)(sunset cruise), sight seeing Boca Grande Island, Sanabel Island, Old quaint Naples, Venice tourist attractions and much more. These include all levels of dining on the water & quaint old Florida atmosphere
Below is my post of about a month ago explaining lodging accomodations:
OK.....it's Oct 11th for sure.
I just talked with Englewood Beach & Yacht Club (EBYC) and find that, being time-share condos whose owners either use them themselves or rent them out to people like us, the owners have not yet notified EBYC about using or renting..........so my friend and ex-co-worker is going to start making phone calls today to the owners.
I've also checked with another place on the beach, which I would highly recommend, called Castaways and they do have several 2 br, 2ba units available on the beach. They have a 3 night minimum at $97.00 per night or $674 for the week. This place is nicely furnished and has outdoor grills, a pool with self-bar and very tropical atmosphere. It is right next to the Englewood beach on the Gulf. Also within walking distance to a couple of very good restaurants, great seafood & steaks, and the Tiki Bar with its' Island Music (and food).
If I don't hear from EBYC within the next two days, I think we sould book with Castaways. They require a $200.00 deposit to hold the unit and have a 45 day cancellation period.
There's also the Veranda Inn with the usual double occupancy for $62.00 per night, a 2 br.efficiency of sorts. king and double, with a refrig and micro for $77.00, and a 2 br apt with king, twins and sleeper sofa for $110.00.
Forget Days Inn....wouldn't recommend this one.
The sooner we book, the better the chance for a unit closer to the beach.
You can check out EBYC at http/:www.vacationfla.com/manasota.html and click on Manasota Key.
When we've had conventions all over the four corners of the country, I am hoping to offer Sarasota as we start rotating again. There is really a lot to do here.

Elaine......our little get together in October is in Englewood where we had it before.
I mentioned Sarasota for a convention because it is close by here so I am familiar with it, and it's a larger city with more lodging accomodations for a larger crowd. It's a beautiful city with a lot more to offer.

You can count me in. Unless of course the Andy you listed is me. 
There's an Andy that lives in Melbourne. I'm the Andy in Orlando.
Any more Andy's out there?
Sorry, I'm having one of those days...

Hey smfaison.. I just moved from VA to the Pensacola, FL area. Tallahassee is I think around 3 hrs from Pensacola..maybe a chapter could be formed that would be the FL Panhandle Chapter. Is this a possibility? Or can there only be one official chapter in a state? I really don't know what is involved in forming these chapters, running them, etc..but I'd be willing to work on it with someone if it's a possibility.

I belonged to a large group in Cleveland - a huge not for profit organization who is also International- and we had many chapters just within that city.
The org was broken down into Northeast, Southeast, South Central, Midwest, Northwest and Southwest Regions. There were District Managers covering several chapters and than Regional Managers covering each region.
I do believe this applies to all chartered orgs, but if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Nice pic of the Fla sunset, Andy........can you post the whole big picture?
Friday afternoon and evening, we'll all be getting together at EBYC for an evening of reacquainting, and meeting new people. The pool is inviting as is the private section of the beach.
I'm getting ready (mentally) for the big cook out Saturday eve. out back on the patio of EBYC, near the boat docks. We'll vote on the chef....hee he.
Earlier in the day we will have a business meeting to get the Fla. Chapter off the ground, etc. That's what I'm really excited about..........that and getting some ch'ers together again. And while the meeting is going on, I'll bet I know a few people who will wander off for a game of golf! Need I say who?
In the evening, we'll (those who want to) wonder over to the Tiki Bar for some island music and sea type snacks. Best steamers in the world!
Sunday and Monday, those who stay on will play it by ear......there's a lot to see and do.
Here are a few pics of a few years ago.............

If you should find your way to the front page of my site, you will see a shot from the boat docks.
