FSLC Report on the First Surety Claims Workshop

last updated December 1, 1999

Congratulations!

The First Surety Claims Workshop was a huge success! The program planners, Deborah Griffin and Ken Givens, and the program panelists helped create an innovative and engaging new seminar format. The workshops were a great way to meet new people and shoptalk strategies for handling performance bond defaults. In addition to the workshops, all of the attendees enjoyed golf, beach volleyball, bike rides, dolphin boat cruises, and more. Thanks to Larry Moelman for all of his hard work in Chairing the Social Activities.

Thursday Activities

Tennis Tournament

Approximately 14 participants competed in a round robin format. Unfortunately, the playoffs were rained out, but winners were selected on the basis of their standing during the round robin competition. Congratulations to all the winners who received prizes of tennis racquet covers, sweatshirts, or water bottles.

Bike Riding

Approximately 30 attendees/guests participated in this popular activity. Bike riders followed the island bike path and checked out the local scenery,. Some riders took the more adventurous route home and enjoyed the scenery along the beach. Fortunately, all safely returned just minutes prior to the afternoon downpour.

Beach Olympics

Unfortunately, this event was rained out and all were forced to wait out the storm at the poolside bar. Eventually the storm cleared and a spirited game of beach volleyball ensued.

Friday Activities

Best Ball Golf Tournament

Approximately twenty teams enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of golf at the Port Royal Golf Club. While scores were reported and prizes were awarded, no representations are made as to the accuracy of the scores.

Horseback Riding

Deborah Griffin coordinated a group of ten attendees/guests for a beautiful afternoon ride through the Island preserve. The trail guides provided the riders with a variety of local area lore and information during the ride, including an explanation on the origin of "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!" which has to do with the proliferation of Spanish Moss growing in the area. The trail riders even saw a couple of alligators along the tour, but all arrived safely back at the barn without as much as a nibble!
