Membership Application

July, 2008

Does the month of July mean a celebration of freedom?  Hot dogs and hamburgers?  Fireworks?  Sure, but it also means that you have the opportunity to join the best club in PGI – Newcomers!  The absence of crowds and traffic is not an indication that activities have ceased in the summer.  If you are new to PGI or have finally decided to get out and meet new people this is the perfect time to join.  As you can see below the fun continues all summer long.

7/2 – Meet and Greet – Join fellow Newcomers for Happy Hour from 5- 7PM at Benedetto’s Tiki Bar.  Contact Eileen Shore for further information (639-3922).  (Meets the first Wednesday of each month.) 

 7/9 – Ladies Lunch Bunch (Kay Boxer 639-9494) Small groups of women meet in each other’s homes. During the summer months, the hostess may choose to dine out and will choose a restaurant. (Meets the second Wednesday of each month.)

 7/14 – Great American Cookout – combined outing with the Floridians at the PGICA Pavilion.  Sign up or call Joe Longo to advise if you are bringing an appetizer, sidedish or dessert, and for further information at 347-8493.  If you do not sign up in advance, you will not be permitted to attend as food stuffs must be purchased based on numbers. 

7/16 – Dine Around – Portofino’s, Port Charlotte 6PM cocktails followed by dinner.  Enjoy watching a beautiful sunset with other Newcomers while dining on the waterfront.  Contact Lonia Camilleri at 505-4578 for reservations.

7/25 – Food and Friends – A wonderful way to get to know other newcomers in a small, intimate setting in members’ homes.  Meets the fourth Friday of each month.  Sign up at any of the other events or call Linda Miller 347-8203.
