Fall 2014 Special Edition Newsletter

Dear Valued Owners & Friends, Your Fall 2014 Island Breeze newsletter will soon be published and yet when we sat down to determine the news-worthy articles to be included, it came upon us that the last 12 months has meant so much to so many. With that in mind, I am pleased to provide you with this “Special Edition” of memories. We kicked off last year’s season in celebration of Palm Island Resort’s 30th anniversary. The opening festivity was the Sunset Reception on the beach with a grand finale of a firework display like no other.

Over 180 attendees of property owners, past property owners, friends, relatives and family gathered together with common joy, pride and to share fond memories thread together through each others’ times at Palm Island Resort. The night, the weekend and the entire season was…...magical! I hope you enjoy reflecting back to our last 12 months and join me in the feeling of being blessed by our bright future together. Thank you.

Welcome by Rick Brunette, Vice President & General Manager

At the beach, life is different,

Time doesn’t move from hour to hour,

but mood to moment, We live by the

currents, plan by the tides, and

follow the sun.
