“We are looking forward to kicking off our season in a couple weeks with a great destination to South Seas Island Resort on Captiva,” Belisle said. “While it is officially just a day run some members like myself will take advantage of the resort for the entire weekend. We hope to continue to add new members and see some familiar faces again this year.”
