Thanks to SO MANY people
who contributed to a successful year for our Club: the diligent
Board of Directors handling countless tasks behind the scenes,
generous donors contributing over $3,000 in door prizes,
the Caribe/staff providing space for the two Socials and staff at
GT's on the Bay providing the four buffet breakfasts. And,
from my personal perspective, appreciation for the grace of
countless Club Members interacting with the "newbie"
Club President.
The Club has a
long-standing practice of contributing "net-proceeds"
from Club activities to Gulf Coast area charities, nonprofits,
and public safety entities. Iowa Club Board members,
after our last Breakfast, approved donations to:
· $1,000
Christian Service Center (Connie White,

· $250
Alabama Coastal Foundation/Save the Beach (Turtles)
· $250
Camp Dixie
· $250
Mary’s Shelter Gulf Coast
· $250
City Orange Beach (refurbish a trail bench the Club donated in
2010)
Additionally,
a previous email reflected $5,400 given (through the
Calendar Draw sponsored by several state snowbird clubs) to
Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach Fire Departments.
Finally, we NEED your
input on 2024 Club activities and how we may improve what and how
we do things in 2025/thereafter. PLEASE , click on the
