The formation of the new Amelia Island Equity Club was celebrated this past weekend with a variety of events and social gatherings. The schedule of events began with a Long Point Golf Tournament on Thursday October 21, 2010. The shotgun start at noon included an All American Cookout Buffet . Also on Thursday was a free tennis clinic put on by Tennis Pros Kelly Gunterman and Rod Gibson. I attended the clinic and it was great fun. I will admit that I was a bit sore the next morning but not too sore to follow-up on Friday afternoon with a Tennis Flighted Round Robin from 3:00 to 5:00 PM .

A community forum was held Saturday October 23, 2010 at 10:00 AM with representatives from the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, the Amelia Island Plantation Community Association and the Amelia Island Club on hand to speak to the crowd of an estimated 500 owners about the current status of the community and future plans.
A Grand Celebration took place that evening at the Ocean Clubhouse as some 400 club members, myself included, enjoyed a fantastic event of food, beverages and entertainment.
Congratulations to all those involved for putting on a fantastic weekend of events.
