Key Biscayne Kayak Adventure
When: Sunday, September 19, 9:15 am at the Visitor's Center, or 8:30 am at the carpool site.
What: A naturalist will take us on a journey along the shores of a land that has witnessed the comings and goings of man for over 2000 years, from the Tequesta Indians that set-up their fishing villages in the summer to the pirates that shipwrecked off shore. This island paradise sits nestled among Miami's hustle and bustle, providing a playground for the weekend warriors but also providing a refuge for those seeking peace amongst the natural beauty of this barrier island. This tour explores the natural shorelines of a Key Biscayne where coastal birds and marine life are aplenty. The event will end at around 1 PM. We can either go out to lunch or hang out at a near by beach for the rest of the afternoon.
Where: Crandon Park Visitors and Nature Center (North Beach Parking Lot # 2), 6767 Crandon Blvd, Key Biscayne, FL 33149. Phone: (305) 361-6767.
Directions to the event site: From I-95 take exit 1A toward the Rickenbacker Causeway/Key Biscayne. Continue onto FL-913 S/Rickenbacker Causewary. Proceed over 2 bridges. You are now on Crandon Boulevard and need to be in the left lane. Continue on the Boulevard about 1/4 mile. On your left side directly across from the Golf Course is a green/white sign that reads Crandon Park NORTH BEACH. Make a left turn into Crandon Park Entrance and Parking Lot #2. Follow the road around the ball field to the north end of the parking lot to the Nature Center. You will see a covered portico with a sidewalk leading to the 2-story Nature Center (silver roof)
Carpool Site: Meet at the Holiday Inn in Hollywood. Take I 95 to Sheridan Street (exit #21), go west on Sheridan to the first light (N. 29 Ave.), turn right (north) and make the first left into the Holiday Inn. Meet in the parking lot on the right side of the hotel as you're facing the hotel. Meet at 8:30 am. We will depart at 8:45 am sharp! Please be on time to be considerate to others.

Naples Tennis Weekend
When: Friday, September 24 to Sunday, September 26. People generally start arriving around 5:00 pm on Friday and leave any time on Sunday.
What: We're finally going back to Naples for a weekend of tennis! This time we are returning to the beautiful Naples Bath and Tennis Center. The center has condos of varying sizes, with full kitchens and laundry facilities. All rooming arrangements will be assigned based on a first-come, first-served basis. Even if you don't play tennis, there are lots of great things to do at the resort and throughout Naples. There is no official dinner planned for Friday evening. Some people choose to have dinner after tennis around 8:00-9:00, while others have a light meal before tennis. We generally get together around 10:00 pm on Friday to meet and greet and play some games. Saturday tennis will begin at 9:00 am with a one hour Round Robin led by Erin Negrea. We will have access to the courts for most of the morning as well as afternoon. There is also the option of poolside fun and/or the beach, with tennis again around 5:00 pm. We will plan dinner out on Saturday night as a group. Sunday morning we will have our final tennis matches.
Where: Naples Bath & Tennis Club, 4995 Airport Pulling Rd, Naples, FL, 1-800-225-9692.
Directions: I-75 to Naples Exit #107 (Pine Ridge Rd.) Make a left (west) to Airport Pulling Rd., and turn left (south) to the second light. Turn right at Clubhouse Drive, and into the Naples Bath & Tennis Club. Go straight, and the clubhouse will be two blocks down on the right. Pick up your registration packets and keys at the office in the clubhouse if you arrive before 5:00 pm. Drive time from Ft. Lauderdale is less than two hours.
Carpool Site: We do not have an official carpool site for this event, as people tend to leave at different times. We can recommend a convenient meeting place at the Wellesley Inn near I-75 & I-595, right next to the Baymont Inn. Take I-595 west to exit #1 (S.W. 136 Ave.) Turn right (north) on 136 Ave, and the hotel will be on the left. The signage is bad, and it is set back from the road. If you reach the gas station or the Baymont Inn, you have passed it.
Bring: Whatever you need for the weekend, tennis gear (proper attire is required for the courts; no tank tops for men or halters for women. Court shoes are required for clay courts), bathing suit, beach gear if you want to go to the beach, games for the night owls, and shoes if you think you might want to go dancing Saturday night (some places don't allow sneakers). Tennis balls are provided.
Cost: The following pricing is for Mosaic Members. Non-Members add $5. Cost is $85 per person, for two people sharing a bedroom in a 2 or 3 bedroom condo. There is one 1-bedroom condo available with one full size bed, which is available for a cost of $100 per person for 2 people. There are two condos, which have pullout sofa beds in the living room. The sofa beds are available for $70 per person for the weekend. Due to limited availability of condos, everyone must share a room (many rooms have twin beds). We will try to honor requests for accommodations, but all rooms and requests will be first come first served. The price for the weekend includes accommodations Friday and Saturday nights, full use of all tennis facilities as well as swimming pool and Jacuzzi, a light bagel breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings and some evening snacks. All prices are subject to availability, and rooming assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.
