Where are They Now?

We were all sitting around getting all nostalgic about days gone by, remembered friends, 'where are they now' moments.
 
Remember the Nickerson's?  Nick and Bobbie?
He left a bit ago to live with his daughter in Washington. 
 If you'd like to drop him a note his address is:

SPNO News - March 24th - Final Report



Good Afternoon Group.
The Olympic Flag is down and folded, the Olympic Rings are put away, Mike has his Olympic Torch back in his room and The Sandpipers 17th Nude Olympic is in the record books.  There were 101 different Athletes who took part.  307 Medals were awarded.  In all there were 1001 entries into the T-Shirt Raffle.  Everything from Air Hockey to Z-Field events.  What a great one is was.  So many things made this year a special time. 
Thanks to everyone who had even a small part in the event.
Thanks to Steve for his radio announcements, to Sue Z for her blog entries.  Thanks to Karen and Jay for their support.  Thanks to Jon and Donna, Jim and Cindy, Randy and Sue, Bruce and Sue, Frankie, Elsie, Irwin and Margaret and Paul and Judy for being such a good Olympic Committee.  Now thanks to all the event hosts this year.  You all did a wonderful job and took care of the tasks at hand.  Everything went off smoothly and without a hitch.  The weather tried a couple of times to keep us down but we made it through.  Thanks to Mike for leading the Parade.  If we forget anyone please, please know your efforts were appreciated.  Thanks to those who entered the Meatball Cook-off, it really was a great success.   
Now for some news.  Carma and myself have been asked to take care of the 18th Sandpipers Nude Olympics and we have decided we are up for another year.  So save the dates, March 22nd - March 29th, 2017. 
Next item.  Some have asked if the Sandpipers Nude Olympic T-Shirts were for sale.  After taking this question to Karen she has agreed to get some more and make them available for sale.  She needs to know by tomorrow, Friday March 25th by 5PM who wants them and the size they need, so get with the office to place your order if you want one. 
This event is such a pleasure to host for Carma and myself because of everyone here at Sandpipers that are willing to help.  From blowing up balloons to filling balloons with water.  You folks make this event happen and Carma and I want to say thank you so much for your help and kind words of encouragement.
Finally to everyone here at Sandpipers we hope that the next year will be a great one for all of you.  We hope your health remains good and if you are traveling back home or doing any summer traveling, please have a safe journey so we can see everyone back next season. 
Sincerely,
Carma and Bob
