JULY 2010

My Fellow SKALleagues,

WOW! Summer has arrived in all her full glory, perfect for the escape plans we have completed for a fabulous resort getaway to the Florida Keys. After a two-year hiatus, our Club's traditional August weekend retreat has resumed. It's time for relaxing and having a treat time with family, fellow SKALleagues and travel industry colleagues.

Speaking of which, we are blessed to be invited by a former San Francisco SKAL member and President of the Ocean Reef Club, Paul Astbury, who has empowered his world-class team to extend the best of their renowned hospitality and facilities at very special rate and generous discounts for us to fully enjoy our weekend at the Ocean Reef Club.

Look forward to seeing you there.
SKAL!
