Gerry,
Thank you for calling today for information on our annual Pine-to-Palm Pasty Picnic. I have copied the ‘Save the Date’ flyer into this email for you. In February we will be sending out another notification, which includes a map to the Peridia Golf Community in Bradenton, FL. If you would like to send me your address, I can send you that information now so you have a better idea where the event is located. We plan to have social time from 11-noon, followed by a pasty picnic and program. Jim Lorenson, GCC President, will be there to share information about GCC. I will also be attending.
Please call or email with any additional questions. We would love to have you join us! And maybe you can share some stories about Frank, or Tyke, as we call him!
Take care,
Kelly
Save the Date….
The 7th Annual Florida Pine-to-Palm Pasty Picnic
is set for Thursday, March 22, 2012
at the Peridia Golf & Country Club in Bradenton, Florida.
This year our event will include an informational presentation titled, “From Sawgrass to Sugarcane: Cultural Stories of the Everglades” presented by Jessica R. Cattelino, Associate Professor of Anthropology, UCLA. Jessica is in Florida on a research project and has agreed to share her research experiences with us!
Both Native and non-Native Americans long have taken the health of the Florida Everglades to measure the strength of their nations and the depth of their civic commitments. In this presentation, cultural anthropologist Jessica Cattelino—who hails from Saxon, Wisconsin—will share her research on the ways that diverse residents of the northwest Everglades value water in their everyday lives. Cattelino will tell stories that range from the Seminole Big Cypress Reservation to the sugarcane-dominated city of Clewiston in order to put a human face on the past and present of these iconic swamps. In the end, she will draw on fieldwork about the world’s largest ecological restoration initative to show why “saving the Everglades” is as much a political and social project as an ecological one.
Please return the bottom portion of this letter to Kelly Marczak, GCC Foundation Director
as soon as possible so we can plan a wonderful event for all!
You are welcome to invite friends to join in our day.
Additional information will be sent to all in February.
Cost remains at $25/person or $40/couple.

Gayle and I enjoyed having everyone over for the annual get together at our house. I think everyone had a good time reminiscing.
Plan on being at Glenn Korpi's at Lake Gogebic for the 55th reunion in 2013.
