VISIT TO TAMPA ACADEMY PREP CENTER

The Club voted the Tampa Academy Prep School as one of their charity recipients this year, which was a first for the Club. Therefore, Gloria Brown and Fran Wolfson personally delivered the donation to Lincoln Tamayo the Vice President of Center Operation.

The Academy Prep Center of Tampa educates under privileged students with high potential. All Students receive 4 years of tuition-free, college preparatory education. The students participate in a rigorous academic curriculum, enrichment program, social skills training and community service activities. They attend up to 11 hours a day, 6 days a week, 11 months each year. They learn with their own gender in classes of 15 students or fewer.

Tom Sansone, Academy Prep Board Chairman is quoted as saying "The aim is to move young people from an almost predictable path towards school dropouts and low paying jobs onto the road where college graduation and a productive life of leadership are the most probably outcomes".

DIVAS DINE OUT

The Divas dined out at "The Vine" - the newly opened restaurant at the VanDyke Commons Shopping Center - What a devine and delightful dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant.

MURDER MYSTERY PARTY

MURDER MYSTERY PARTY

The 1920s was a time of celebration. It was an era about JAZZ, Dancing, Fine Clothing and Entertaining. So why not dress up as a gangster or flapper and come to The Cheval Women's Club "Colossal Cocktail Party Extravaganza". The Party is set in the period of the Roaring 20s. Dress (optional) as a "hot" mama Flapper Moll or a "Slick" Gangster and play the part of Bonnie & Clyde.

It all takes place on Saturday, October 24 - TPC Clubhouse - 7 -10 pm.

PROCEEDS DONATED TO CHARITY.....

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

The Board of Directors met at Organic Blends restaurant at the Club to start planning for the next year. Ladies we have some "new" and "great" ideas for next year so click over to the event calendar and check them out.

One important and fantastic event will be a "Murder Mystery Party" in October with the proceeds going to our charity fund. This party will include spouses/guests. It is a "Roaring 20s" theme where you dress as a "hot" mama or a "slick" gangster where you will be attending a Syndicate Convention. Everyone is given a script to play a part so if you are an extrovert there is a special mayor part for you and if you tend to be more introverted, there are minor parts available also. I guarantee everyone will have a blast. Heavy appetizers will be available and also dessert but the bar is a "No Host Bar". It will cost $50/person and details and deadlines will be forthcoming. REMEMBER THIS IS FOR CHARITY.....

Also, in July a "Member Mixer" patio party at the famous "Tiki Bar" at the Club where we will invite new ladies to mix and mingle with us and invite them to share in all the fun that we have.
