2021 - 2022 Season
A NOTE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Snowbirds,
Increasing concerns about the Covid epidemic in recent weeks has caused considerable drop in our membership this year. To date, our membership is down approximately 682 members and that has resulted in a substantial impact on our club finances. To help our club, remain solvent and continue to offer some of our traditional activities, programs, and meetings this year the Board has made several decisions we want you to be aware of as we move forward. The changes will appear on our website (thedestinsnowbirds.com) and on our Facebook page (Destin snowbirds) as well as announcements at each of our upcoming meetings.
Your understanding and patience are very much appreciated. Making a few sacrifices during yet another unusual year will help insure the return of a strong and financially sound Destin Snowbird Club in 2022-2023.
Let’s make this year’s season the best it can be.
Destin Snowbird Board of Directors
WHAT'S NEW . . .
Welcome to Walter Williamson
Walter Williamson has agreed to become our 2nd VP for this SB season 2021-22. Walter and his wife Becky are from Tupelo, MS. Tupelo is their home base. They are full time RV'ers seeing the country in their motorhome. They plan on spending the winter months in Miramar Beach for the next few years. Walter and Becky were CPA's and owned their financial planning firm. Walter and Becky are very outgoing people and meet people easily. Becky is already volunteering to help Linda Z with data recording. We think Walter will make a great future president and be an asset to the Destin Snowbird Club.
