We end our fabulous weekend on Sunday, March 29, with golf in the morning, a matinee movie of the Eddy Duchin story, followed by more golf in the afternoon. We complete the weekend with our great cocktail party and closing dinner. The money raised over these four days will go to support many civic organizations and facilities in Juno Beach, Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens: Fire Departments, Police Depart- ments, and Jupiter Medical Center. We also support many various needy programs: Alzheimer's Community Center, Florida Resource Center for Women and Children, Renaissance School for Autistic Children, Retarded Citizens and Children, Epilepsy Foundation, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, El Sol, Children with Cancer, and Gratitude House. This year we added an organization that trains sup- port dogs for area veterans. We look forward to the support of all of you at Frenchman’s Creek. Thank you to our Committee, Board Oversight Alan Fuirst, and staff who have worked so hard in putting this event together—it can’t be done alone.

THE FRENCHMAN’S CREEK CHARITIES FOUNDATION had another fabulous year. We are now in our 17th year and looking forward to doing even better at our March 25, 27, 28, 29, 2015 events. We begin our weekend with our kickoff by Saks Fifth Avenue in the Gardens. We are extremely lucky to have Colleen Sherin, Senior Fashion Director of all Saks stores, with us for the Boutique, Fashion Show and Luncheon event. On Friday, March 27, we have Bridge, Canasta, and Mah Jongg in the afternoon followed by “the Auction of the Pros and Caddies,” a fun evening of cocktails and tapas with our great auctioneer Kyle Hatakeyama. On “Super Sports” Saturday, March 28, our tennis group will be playing with pros from around the area in a round robin event with a luncheon to follow. This year we added Bocce and Pickle Ball to our events. Afterwards, we have our famous softball game with members and staff joining a mixed team. After the game everyone will enjoy popcorn, sliders, hot dogs, wine and especially lots of laughs.
