Great PicNic by the Beach
We couldn't have asked for a better day! No lingering effects from the tropical depression. In fact, the storm seemed to have cooled down the air just enough for all of us to really enjoy this beautiful venue. 24 of our members joined us today for our annual picnic....
Mini Golf 2022 was great
17 of us met at 10 am on a hot and steamy Wednesday May 18. It was definatly a hot day and we were all dripping but that did not hold us back from hitting these balls and having a fabulous time. Popstroke is not one of the typical Minigolf Courses. There were two...

Fondue Night 2022
Saturday February 12 @ 17:00 (5 pm)
What could be more traditional than a Fondue dinner? The answer, of course is, nothing. Fondue has to be my all time favorite Swiss Food. I am sure you have many fond memories of Fondue nights but there is always room to create another memory. Come and join us for this typical Swiss meal and Swiss evening.

Visit at WGCU
Today was a great day for the Swiss American Club of Southwest Florida. Our visit to the studio of WGCU (local NPR and PBS affiliate) on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University was wonderful. Our one-hour tour included visits to the radio and TV studios as well as...
