President’s Corner June 2017
Much thanks to Julie Cortina and the staff of The Bay Club at Westshore Yacht Club for an excellent evening for our June meeting last week that included lamb chops upon arrival, Moscow Mules and a great selection of wines hosted by San Rafael Import Company and Wine Stream.
Congrats to our raffle winners:

Vesta Gift Package – Spa or Dinner – Doug Horn
Vesta Gift Package – Spa or Dinner – Jim Wray
Dolphin Landings Sail or Dolphin Watch for Two – Theresa Wood – Lecain
I would like to take a moment to thank John Heather for his partnership with our club. Together with Dan Peretz, that partnership helped our Young SKAL membership goals become a reality. John was the Visiting Instructor of International Tourism & Hospitality Management at St. Leo University. As the title suggests, John was “visiting” and has returned to the Washington DC area. John will be missed by our club and I am sure many current St. Leo students but will remain active with the DC area SKAL Club. We wish John all the best and look forward to hopefully running into him at future SKAL USA events.
As a reminder, get your foursomes together and register for the July 24th Don Smith Annual Golf Tournament at Belleair Golf and Country Club. The golf starts at 9am and the luncheon starts at 1pm for golfers and non-golfers who are welcome to enjoy the amenities of this prestigious club. I look forward to defending my 2016 Club Member crown….that in itself shows you how fun and fair the Calloway scoring can be!
Best SKAL regards!
George Bentley
