the Meeting and Education Segment
The PGIslanders meet at 7pm on the first Thursday of every month at the Punta Gorda Civic Association. Please join us…it’s a great way to get to know the PGIslanders and learn about our activities!
We’ll be reviewing upcoming cruises and social events, followed by our Education Segment. Boating education covering a broad range of boating topics including safety, boat maintenance, electronics, insurance, cruising, and navigation is a component of most monthly meetings. We often invite local experts and community leaders as guest speakers to share their knowledge and experience with us.
Our 50/50 raffle will be held, so please bring cash (small bills) to participate in this fun, and potentially rewarding, activity.
If you would like to join us for pizza provided by the club before the meeting starts, you MUST Register 2 days prior to the meeting so we can get a headcount for the pizza order.

Pizza is served at 6:30pm. Bring your own beverage.
