pantries. The amount is still unknown. Last year $500 was given to heart and hospice
charities.

The Casual Walking group announced that it meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 9
am for a 2 ½ mile walk around Lake Sumter Landing. They meet at R.J. Gators but will
follow the walk with breakfast at the Veranda. All are welcome but should call first for
breakfast reservation.

February 8. They will go to Silver River State Park for a 3 1/1 mile walk. Please bring
own lunch and wear walking shoes. The group will meet at Mulberry at 9:15 a.m.
Helen Chun announced that the golf scramble meets the second Saturday of the month.
She urged sign ups so she can balance teams. There is a $1 contribution. After golf

At the February 28th meeting the slate for new officers will be announced by Larry
Cohen who is Chairman of the Nominating Committee. All positions are open –
President, VP., Secretary and Treasurer. More info is on the website: sumtersingles.org.
AJ made a plea for more volunteers, saying that 50-60 a year are needed. He
encouraged new members to participate. He said “we need your new ideas; this is your
second family.” Wendy also said it is a great way to meet new friends and have fun.
Jerry Arnold said that volunteers should be full-time residents and passed around a sign-
up sheet.
The 50/50 drawing followed. A bucket for program suggestions was placed on stage.
A motion to adjourn the business portion was made and seconded at 3:25 p.m. which
was followed by an interactive game.
Respectfully submitted,
Vivienne Finley, Secretary
