SARASOTA’S REGIONAL PRIMETIMER GATHERING

OCTOBER IS STILL SUMMER IN FLORIDA
COME ENJOY THE GREAT WEATHER AND SARASOTA “PRIDE”

OCTOBER 28TH-OCTOBER 31ST, 2010
BY DENNIS DELLA FRANCO, PRESIDENT PRIMETIMERS SARASOTA

While the leaves up north are changing, come join us in Sarasota. Pack your bathing suit and your favorite Halloween Costume and come to Sarasota for the 2010 Regional Gathering.

Enjoy four days of fun in the sun, many exciting and different excursions to see and experience, attend Sarasota’s Gay Pride event on Saturday the 30th of October and meet your old friends and make new friends at Sarasota’s Regional event.

Arrival will be on Thursday the 28th of October and registration will be at the Hyatt Resort Hotel in Sarasota from Noon till 6:00 P.M. Get settled in, visit the reception lounge, meet some local PrimeTimers and relax. An evening poolside casual reception along with swimming in the heated pool if you care to, will be your pleasure from 7:00 PM till whenever you feel like calling it a night.

On Friday the 29th there will be excursions to all the famous well known tourist venues here in Sarasota: The Ringling Museum along with the Ringling’s Mansion, the 2 Circus Museums and the world famous Ringling Art Museum. There will also be a trip to the famous Marie Selby Botanical Gardens for those of you who are horticulturalist, there will be a trip to the famous Mote Marine along with lunch and a trip around the Sarasota Bay, another fun thing to do is SHOP. For those of you who love to shop, PrimeTimers will provide transportation to the elite area of St. Armand’s Circle for shopping and those of you who just want to go to the famous Lido Beach off of St. Armand’s Circle, we will get you there to enjoy the day.

Friday evening will be a “Ghoulish Costume Gala” at the Hyatt Hotel in the Grand Ballroom commemorating “PRIDE’S” and ‘PRIMETIMERS” favorite holiday, “HALLOWEEN”. Bring your favorite costume as we will be having a special Private Gala in the Hotel just for us. Dinner and prizes will be for your pleasure and more details will follow.

On Saturday you can attend the SARASOTA PRIDE DAY about 4 blocks from the hotel. Pride will start at Noon and go until 6:00 PM. Saturday evening is still up in the air.. we are deciding to offer a dine around at some of the fine restaurants in Sarasota or some other exciting activity for the evening.

Sunday is the last day of the Convention and there will be a Brunch for you as you check out and leave the hotel. Prices for the hotel are being worked on and they will be very reasonable for this resort hotel. The Hyatt will also honor the great price for 2 days pre and 2 days post the event. If you want to come and stay for a longer period of time other than the convention itself then please, by all means do so.

There will be more details forthcoming in the next few weeks with registration information along with venue information, pricing and all sorts of “need to know” information. Just mark your calendars for a “Fabulous” couple of days in Sarasota, the Garden Spot of the West Coast of Florida.
