Florida Suncoast Winnie-Gators
May 2006 Outing

There were 36 coaches from the Florida State chapters in attendance.  We had a great turn out of 11 coaches from our Suncoast Winnie-Gators chapter. 

As usual many of us arrived early on Thursday, anxious to start our fun filled weekend at the Southern Palms RV Resort.  That night we had a pot luck dinner and there were many delicious dishes brought to share.  After dinner there was a fun game of Family Fued… It was good getting together and visiting with each other…. 

Friday was pretty much a free day to enjoy all the amenities at the park had to offer and the local area.  Our usual Happy Hour was at 4 where many delicious snacks were brought by chapter members to share. That evening we had a catered dinner.  After dinner some of us gathered for cards/games at the recreation hall. 

Saturday started with breakfast served by Rainbow Catering Service who provided all the meals for the weekend.  After the breakfast we had a general meeting for the state. Later some of the men enjoyed playing horseshoes and also there was a rousing game of beanbag baseball later in the afternoon.  Some members went out to explore the surrounding areas while others went to a small flea market just down the road.  We had happy hour around 3:30 and later that evening once again we enjoyed another good meal.  After dinner we had  a pool party which many enjoyed.  

On Sunday there was a Continental breakfast of muffins, juice & coffee served by our hosts.  After a full weekend of good food, fun and fellowship we said our good-byes and packed up our rigs to head home…looking forward to our next exciting campout.
