Season's Greetings! Great weather set the stage for a super FUN weekend. Temperatures in the 80's reminded all of us of why Florida is the best place to be during the Holiday Season! "Mayor" Terry donned his Santa Suit and with his impish elves rode their decorated bicycles all around Paradise, picking up toys this Saturday(see the pictures>>). The elves collected so many toys, our lobby is starting to look like Santa's Workshop(!!)...keep them coming in, we are collecting toys until December 15. Saturday afternoon was spent poolside in the warm sun, enjoying the great music of Nunes at Night and relaxing with cold drinks, great friends and delicious food. Later, DJ Bob got everybody in the spirit in L'Attitudes and members and guests danced the night away. Sunday after another perfect day poolside, everyone gathered for the Naughty Santa Dinner & Gift Swap. Santa was in great form, the food was great and no one went home empty handed!(see the pictures>>) That was our weekend…how was Yours?
