We are pleased to invite you to 
the Ocean Reef Club's Annual Canadian Invitational Weekend.  
 

O’ Canada will return to The Reef this fall, presenting the perfect opportunity to introduce fellow Canadians to our special paradise in the Florida Keys. We encourage you to invite your Canadian friends, family and business associates to enjoy a weekend spent with those who share similar likes, interests and values, and to experience the Unique Way of Life ™ that can only be found here at Ocean Reef Club.

Remember, there is no limit to the number of people you can invite, and the first 20 members who sign up with a first-time Canadian Invitational Weekend guest will receive a $100 Ocean Reef Club gift certificate.

By design, the Canadian Invitational Weekend is fun and hassle-free, a time we are able to spend together at our home, Ocean Reef. Our tradition allows us to enjoy Canadian camaraderie while relaxing and playing.

The weekend will kick off Thursday evening with a Welcome Cocktail Reception and dinner buffet on Palm Court. On Friday and Saturday, activities are planned for everyone: a Pro-Am golfing event, Ladies’ and Men’s mixed doubles on the Tennis courts, a Moose & Goose Scramble and a new tradition - Golf Croquet. We’ve also added a unique twist to our Friday night cocktail reception - meet us with your guests at the Cultural Center at 6:00 p.m. for cocktails and, at 7:00 p.m., depart to selected Members’ homes for a dine-around or enjoy one of The Reef’s many fine restaurants on your own.

The Club Membership Staff will be on hand all weekend to answer questions regarding membership and to give guided tours.

Patty and I will contact you this summer, to provide additional information about the weekend’s schedule and other updates. Should you wish to contact me, please call (904) 451-7772 or email me at tom@nisim.com. You may also contact Islande Dillon, manager of member events for Ocean Reef Club at (305) 367-5896 or at idillon@oceanreef.com. Please mark your calendar, invite your guests early and plan to join your fellow Canadians to kick-off the season with a fantastic weekend.

Have a great summer and see you in the fall.
Tom and Patty Davidson
