Dominos, craps, blackjack, poker, and roulette was played for
our first Havana Nights Casino Party with a great room of festive folks
networking and enjoying our end-of-year celebration. Thank you so much to our
sponsors: Stellar Sales Alliance – Bar Sponsor, Raypak – Food
Sponsor, and Red Rhino – Craps Table Sponsor. Thank you so much to Stephanie
and Scott Taggart, Signature Pools and Spas, for bringing the amazing
decorations! And thank you to everyone who volunteered, helped set up and break
down, and who made this year such a great new reintroduction to Chapter
meetings and introductions! Check out all the fun photos on our Facebook page
under albums!
We are kicking the year off with the much anticipated
Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the Swimming Hall of Fame, 1 Hall of Fame Drive, Fort
Lauderdale. Save the date and plan to attend Wednesday, January 18 from 6:30
p.m. – 8:00 p.m. This will be a great event so please RSVP to Diane sooner
rather than later!
Thank you so much to the Chapter Board of Directors for
deciding to get back into networking, events, and meetings. It has been a very
successful year under the leadership of Rick Myers, Lo-Chlor. We kicked
off the year with a Chapter meeting with more than 40 attendees at HornerXpress.
We had multiple Chapter meetings at Tropical Acres which were all nicely
attended. Our tabletop at Funky Buddha Brewery was a blast with 31 vendors. We
provided a CE presented by Insurance by Ken Brown and moved over to
Drive Shack for a networking fundraiser. We ended the year with our Havana
Night and are in the process of compiling the donations raised throughout the
year. The Chapter has made considerable donation to Every Child a Swimmer, the
FSPA Florida Swims Foundation and more. Our Annual Sponsors were amazing and we
are so grateful for their support. The Chapter continues to grow and is ending
around 65 members. More Board members have been recruited and we are all
excited for 2023! Thank you to each of you for your amazing support!
The Chapter wants to thank our 2022 Annual Sponsors who have
helped grow our Chapter, donate to important causes and keep the momentum of
the Chapter alive. We thank you so much for your support and look forward to
2023! Title Sponsors: AquaCal, Fluidra, Hayward, HornerXpress, Lo-Chlor,
Pentair, and StoneHardscapes. Gold Sponsors: Pool Corp., Raypak,
and SGM. Silver Sponsors: Florida Stucco and Proline
Distributors.
All Chapter meetings are from
6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. and we do our best to host these meetings on the third
Wednesday of the month if possible. If there’s any change in that format, we
will note it below. Currently, our meetings are held at Tropical Acres, 2500
Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale but we are looking for another venue to welcome
us. Please contact Diane if you know of a place that has a private room that
can fit 40 people. Thank you!
Save the dates for 2023: January 18 is a behind-the-scenes
tour of the Swimming Hall of Fame, February there will not be a meeting due to
the Everything Under the Sunsm Expo February 24-25, March 15

Chapter meetings will be held April 19,
