Collette Travel and the 55+ Club are offering some exciting travel excursions.
More details are in the flyers located in the brochure holder at the DRS Community Center. Contact Jill Blakeway at 321-773-2080 or [email protected].
Starting with the March/April issue of the club newsletter, members who have an email will receive their newsletter in email format and not postal mail. The board unanimously voted to go forward with this format due to postage increases, issues with address changes and forwarding. If you do not have an email, your newsletter will continue to be postal mailed to you. In addition, future flyers and announcements will be sent via this process. The newsletter will be sent through MailChimp’s secure server and will contain links to our website for more information. In the beginning please check your SPAM folder and add [email protected] to your “Safe Sender” list to ensure continued delivery of our newsletter. There will be a sign-up form on our web page for new members. If you no longer wish to receive the emailed newsletter, there will be an “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email. Please Unsubscribe rather than mark us as Spam to insure the integrity of our list.
It’s not customary to mention members who have passed away in our newsletter, but we felt it is important to honor Paul Cribb who was one of our founding members and instrumental with spear heading card games and bingo. We probably wouldn’t have bingo today if it wasn’t for Paul. Paul and his wife Hildy previously lived in the Satellite Beach area for 50 years. He passed away peacefully at the age of 91 at the Pavilion at Bayview Assisted Living Facility in St. Augustine. Paul and Hildy had moved to that area to be closer to their daughter Cookie. While serving in the armed forces in Germany he met and married his wife of 72 years, Hildy. Together they had four children and numerous grandchildren. Paul was a well-respected business man at Charlie’s Pizza, Hess Service Station and Cribb’s Coral. During his retirement years he valued community involvement and it’s when he connected with the 55+ Club. In addition to heading up Thursday Cards & Games and Monday Bingo, Paul and Hildy played Santa and Mrs. Claus for many, many years at the clubs annual holiday luncheons. Their daughter Cookie writes, “Please let everyone know my dad has missed them and enjoyed the many happy memories of the activities, fun, and friends he had at the 55+ Club”. Rest in Peace dear friend!
The trip to Capone’s Dinner Theatre in September was great fun. Several people dressed up as flappers and were greeted by their York ease waiters. They enjoyed a great buffet and were entertained by gangsters, 1920’s characters and even their own bus driver Casey went up on stage! The Isle of Capri Casino in October was also an enjoyable
trip and a few people came home with extra $$$ in their pockets! They enjoyed a movie both ways and the bus was full for both trips! Don’t miss out on these fun excursions!
