Florida Gateway Chapter 27

Primary area of interest: Chapter 27 covers Florida from the panhandle to central Florida.


(This page maintained by Larry & Marilyn Forbes. Last modified: 3/2/2010 3:36:22 PMCentral time.)

Chapter 27 was organized on March 7, 1990. A chapter provides a framework for SKP members to meet on a local level, and Chapter 27 does this well. We have monthly luncheons from November to May, along with 2 rallies (Spring and Fall). Remember, all SKPs are welcome at all of our activities. Our dues are $5 per year, and our membership year is 1/1 to 12/31, with dues due no later than 4/30 of the next year. We publish a newsletter, "The Avenue" with 3 issues per year. The majority of our members are not Florida residents. They are Escapees who enjoy spending the winter months here because: · Florida winters have warm days and cool nights while most of the country is cold. · There is so much to see and do: o There is The Mouse House and other amusement parks, wilderness areas, a large variety of birds (egrets, eagles, flamingos, herons, etc.), alligators, snakes, the Florida panther, campfires with friends, boating and swimming (lakes, Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico), State and Federal Parks.

Details are in for the April 29, 2010 Eastern Multi-Chapter Rally to be held in Marion, North Carolina. Marion is just east of the Asheville area in beautiful western North Carolina. Bryan Rose is hosting this rally and already has a great agenda in the works. Those returning from their winter roost next spring might consider heading to western North Carolina on their way home. Bryan stated a few "East of the Mississippi" Escapees state chapters are holding their Spring Rally at this Multi-Chapter Rally in N.C. next year and maybe something other chapters may want to consider?
