CENTRAL FLORIDA POWERSPORTS THANK YOU PIZZA PARTY DEC 24TH

For the past several years I have coordinated and primarily sponsored a Christmas pizza party to thank all the staff members of Central Florida Powersports for providing us with service above and beyond the call of duty.. I will be coordinating and attending this again this year. Last year several other club members joined in on the sponsorship and added their names to the thank you card that we present to CFPS. If you wish to become a sponsor and have you name on the thank you card please submit $25 payable to Hal Mette 173 Riggings Way, Clermont, Fl 34711 or even better bring the funds to CFPS on Christmas Eve at 10am and join me in thanking these find folks in person. The kind of service that we receive is unparalleled in the Spyder industry (and most others for that matter). Let’s show these folks that we appreciate them! Thank you..

The Space Coast Lightfest is a holiday themed drive-through event held at Wickham Park. It is a family oriented celebration featuring shimmering lights and dazzling animated displays (drawing over 15,000 vehicles annually) The 1.1 mile long park is transformed into a winter wonderland filled with hundreds-of-thousands of lights.

The Space Coast Lightfest is a community event run by the youth and volunteers of the Boy Scouts of America in the Central Florida Council.

We are modifying Saturdays event to ryde from the Home for our Troops Key ceremony to Dales Funeral Service: Saturday, November 21, 2015 @ 1PM at

Blessed Trinity Catholic Church

I am still in shock! Dale's warm smile will be sorely missed in our group.
Let's be there for Rita
