Heron Colony Newsletter, April 2015


Here, to help you plan your social calendar, is a partial list of upcoming activities available to you as a resident of Heron Colony Golf & Beach Club, Florida’s friendliest retirement community. Sign up at the community center at least two days in advance of the events you wish to attend and be sure to visit our website for the full list. 

Go with the flow: Gentlemen, do you have to get up three or four times at night to go to the bathroom? And when you get there, do you just stand there with your you-know-what in your hand, waiting for something to happen while you try to conjure up images of Niagara Falls? If so, plan on attending an informative seminar, “Prostate with(out) Grief,” by Jerry Tull MD on Tuesday, April 6 at 10 a.m., followed by cocktails and lunch. 

There’s a Ford in your future: Noted regional theater actress and Heron Colony G&BC resident Patti Horton will be appearing in her acclaimed one-woman show, “The Wit & Wisdom of Betty Ford,” at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday April 7. Tickets are $15 and include cocktails before, during and after the performance.

Woodstock Revisited: If you weren’t able to attend the real Woodstock, here’s your chance to make up for it Thursday, April 8 at 5 p.m. on the country club front lawn where the multi-talented Heron Colony Chorale will be re-creating some of that legendary event's most memorable moments including performances of Joe Hill by Joan (Marilyn Rosenthal) Baez, Purple Haze by Jimi (Dr. Stephen Bing) Hendrix, Piece of My Heart by Janis (Charlotte Hoffman) Joplin and With A Little Help From My Friends by Joe (Gregory Williams) Cocker. Be there or be square! Cocktails will be available from the outdoor bar until the event's conclusion at 7:30 p.m. 

9-hole ladies:  Will be holding their annual scramble beginning at 9 a.m. sharp Saturday April 10 at the country club. The ladies will be playing the Pelican course this year. Beverage service will be available at holes 2, 4, 6 and 8. 

Book signing: Resident Roger M. Oswald has self-published his long-awaited memoir, “Growing Up Oswald,” his sometimes poignant and at times hilarious account of coming of age in the 1960s as Lee Harvey Oswald’s fourth cousin twice removed. A reading, book signing and cocktail reception will be held on Monday April 12 at 7 p.m, at the country club. Proceeds from the sale of all books will be donated to the NRA.

Cocktail fundraiser: Will be held Sunday, April 18th from 2 p.m. until ??? at the Tennis Center to raise funds for the next cocktail fundraiser currently scheduled for Sunday, May 4. $20.

Tequila Sunrise sunrise sail: The HMS Pelican departs every Wednesday at 6 a.m. from the marina for a three-hour cruise through our beautiful bay during which you can observe the sunrise and partake of Captain Meacham’s famous “liquid breakfast” for just $2.50/glass. 

Shirley Johnson Memorial Service: Services will be held in the Grill Room on Saturday, April 24th at 2 pm for longtime resident Shirley Johnson who succumbed to injuries suffered during a Kayak Club outing last month. While our community is blessed with a profusion of beautiful lakes and abundant wildlife, Shirley's family has asked us to take this opportunity to once again remind all residents and guests not to feed the alligators. A cocktail reception will take place immediately following the service.
