**A Bump in the Voyage, But Full Steam Ahead!**

Dear Members,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently returned from a cruise, which, regrettably, didn't go as smoothly as hoped. Not only did I miss our scheduled meeting last week, but I also fell ill, and our eagerly anticipated stop in the Dominican Republic was bypassed due to high winds. It's a reminder that sometimes, the journey can take unexpected turns.

**Last Call for Alhambra Dinner Theater Night Tickets!**

In brighter news, the excitement for our Alhambra Dinner Theater Night is palpable! As of Thursday, February 1, we've sold 31 of the 36 available tickets. With just 5 tickets left, time is ticking for those who haven't secured their spot yet. Don't miss out on what promises to be an unforgettable evening. Act fast to ensure you're part of the fun!

**Looking Forward: A Year of Growth and Engagement**

Despite the recent setbacks, our spirits remain high and our sights set on the horizon. Daily conversations with our dedicated officers have filled me with optimism for what lies ahead. We have an ambitious goal this year: welcoming 27 new members into our fold. This goal isn't just a number; it's a step towards enriching our community, diversifying our experiences, and enhancing the value we all gain from our club.

However, reaching this milestone is a team effort. We encourage you to invite friends, colleagues, and business associates who embody the spirit and values of our club. Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant community.

Our collective efforts are crucial for paving the way back to our cherished meetings at the country club next year. Let's make this year a testament to our resilience, camaraderie, and commitment to growth.

Warmest regards,

Michael Best

Mid-June

This year’s annual fishing trip out of Mayport is on the horizon, but prices of everything are going up.

We will have to charge $150 per person, as opposed to last year’s $125. We are trying to ensure we have enough interested anglers to reserve the boat for mid-June.

Please check with your friends, family & colleagues, and let me know if you want to go, and how many you will bring with you.
