Beyond Ourselves

Contact Us

In March, 2012 a group of caring residents of the Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association decided to form an organization with their mission: to serve others in the community. They felt a need for a structured organization to continue their efforts.  This was the beginning of Beyond Ourselves, the community service organization of the Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association.

Beyond Ourselves meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month at 10:00 a.m. at the PGICA.   New members are always welcome to join and help with our events and fundraisers. Yearly dues are $10 per family.

This club has so much to offer – and we offer it to everyone.

The Fishing Club meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm at the PGICA auditorium.. At each meeting, we have a professional guide speak about our favorite topics: fish, bait, lures and locations. Each guide specializes in the different species so you can really learn a lot just by listening to them and asking questions. If you’re not sure about what, just check out website, Fishing Club Home and click on the newsletter section and look for photos of our group. I’m in there with my great catches.

At each meeting, we have three magnificent door prizes. Just for being a member and attending a meeting, you could possibly win a Redbone rod or Okuma reel, a great tackle box, or one of the other many door prizes we select for that night.

The camaraderie in the group is phenomenal. We’re really like one big happy family.

We meet at 5:00 pm every Wednesday for happy hour.  Currently we are meeting at the Ice House on Virginia street in Punta Gorda. We also have the Friday morning breakfast club, which meets at 6:30 a.m. every Friday morning at Elena’s. The ladies meet twice a month, once for lunch and the other for ladies’ night out. We have our annual picnic, and of course the end of the year holiday party.

As I said, we have something for everyone. You don’t have to take my word for any of this. Come to our next meeting and see for yourself.

If you’d like more information you can always contact me at President@pgifishingclug.org or contact our Membership Director, at membership@pgifishingclub.org. That’s all you have to do. We’ll do the rest. Hope to see you at our next meeting in January.



Social Clubs

 



FF&C - Website
Contact Us

Friends, Fun & Community (FF&C) is a social club that began in 2019. Activities include general meetings, happy hours, meal events including planned dinner outings, plus men’s and ladies’ lunches. Members enjoy other functions too, like tours, trips, and reserved visits to nearby venues. Another core function of the club is to support our community by promoting volunteerism. This role often accomplished via donated items to various groups that come to our monthly membership get-together to speak about what they do to serve those in need around us.

Take a look at the club calendar to get a sense of what members are engaging in every month. In addition, general membership meetings take place on the third Monday of every month, and are hosted at the PGICA from 5:30 until around 7 p.m. All are welcome to stop in, say hello and check out all that FF&C has to offer.


 

JFF - Just for Fun
Just For Fun - Home
Contact Us


What is JFF besides a pink flamingo with sunglasses and flip-flops?  We’re a social group of energetic friends who enjoy having a good time and giving back to the community while we’re at it.  Some of us are still working and looking forward to retirement; some of us have already retired and are looking forward to no work.  But one thing we all have in common: we like to chill out, lighten up and have fun!

 

We also like to stay busy, so we pack the calendar with lots of fun and crazy events.  We have TGIFs, dinners, luncheons, socials, and anything else that strikes our fancy (Did you know there’s a National Margarita Day?  Well, we didn’t either, but the minute we found out, we threw together a margarita party. Now that’s carpe diem with a rim of salt!).  On a more sober, ahem… note, our awesome Reading Group and artistic and educational outings provide food for the mind, while our charitable events provide food for the soul.

Now that was quite a list, but we have one more thing to add.  Each month, we have a party—a big one that is often themed and always outrageous.  Examples you say?  How about a 1920s Speakeasy complete with secret door, passwords, the Charleston, and Tommy guns—fake, of course.  We don’t mix bathtub gin with heavy metal. We’ve celebrated Mardi Gras with king cakes, crawfish, and a parade; had a scavenger hunt dressed in black and white; and played the Newlywed Game while tasting wine.

JFF says, “That’s the Way I Like It” when they “Play that Funky Music” as we are “Staying Alive” in beautiful PGI.

We are excited to welcome you to PGICA’s newest social club—a group built on the belief that life is richer when we experience it together. Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant, supportive community by bringing people together through shared experiences, personal growth, and acts of service.


This club is more than just a place to socialize—it’s a space to thrive. Whether you’re eager to explore new destinations, expand your knowledge through educational events, or give back through meaningful community outreach, our activities are designed to connect, uplift, and inspire.


We believe that connection leads to belonging, that learning never stops, and that even the smallest act of kindness can have a big impact. By coming together, we aim to build lasting friendships, deepen our sense of purpose, and positively affect the lives of others in and around our community.


Join us as we travel, learn, grow, and serve—creating memories and making a difference along the way.

Join the PGICA Tennis Club and enjoy the sport while building friendships. Our members represent all levels of play from novice to advanced, but most are in the USTA 3.0 to 3.5 range.  We offer three state-of-the-art Composition Courts which are located adjacent to the Civic Association.


Many of our members play in one of three traveling leagues including the Peace River Senior Men’s Tennis League, The 50+ Women’s Tennis League and the Charlotte County Women’s Tennis League.  If you are not interested in league tennis, join the Club for exercise and an opportunity to meet other SW Floridians who love the game of tennis.


Our annual dues are $75 per family per calendar year, with a onetime $100 initiation fee.   Financially, our club is totally independent from the Association and the initiation fee is used for periodic court resurfacing, net replacement and general maintenance.


Please browse our Tennis Club Website to learn more about the Club.  Better yet, stop by the courts and ask a member how you can join the fun!  

And remember, new members are always welcome regardless of skill level.
