TERRI MAROTTA, PRESIDENT OF THE SABAL SPRINGS SUNSHINE SINGLES
The president of Sabal Springs SunShine Singles, Terri Marotta, moved to the community in 2014. Looking for more than three months of great weather, Terri relocated to sunny Florida from New Jersey upon retiring from the postal service as a human resources specialist. While she may have migrated south for the sunshine, she still loves to go back often to visit friends and family and remains an avid New York Giants fan.
Terri appreciates all that Florida has to offer, great beaches, palm trees, great restaurants, theaters, and a wonderful array of wildlife – a mix that she appreciates on all levels.
In addition to the wonderful bounty that Florida offers, Terri discovered the Calendar Girls, a volunteer dance group that raises money for Dogs Inc., which provides guide dogs to disabled veterans among other deserving groups.
“I joined the wonderful group as soon as I moved here in 2014 and I am still with them,” Terri says. “We perform intricate choreographed dance moves to many songs all over Southwest Florida, including performing here at Sabal Springs.”
Terri was asked to be president of the SunShine Singles group earlier this year. “This is a great group of single people, and we are always on the go somewhere,” she says.
Here’s what the SunShine Singles have been up to the past month: a Labor Day Jimmy Buffett Buffet House Party, a couple of movies at the AMC theater, a baseball game, a line dancing lesson, a gathering to watch and dance to Crossfire Creek at the TTs Tiki Bar in Punta Gorda, a lunch at the Happy Gourmet 17, Kraft’s with Kathy and Crafts with Lorraine, a Sunday NFL football watch party at Jersey’s Sports Bar, birthday celebrations, and SunShine Single table gatherings at Sabal Springs functions such as the Neil Diamond Tribute by Trilegy, the Comedy Night, and our favorite local group, Bandstand.
The next meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 11. The meeting place is TBA. If you would like to be on the SunShine Singles’ email list, please send your email address to Jane Hansen at [email protected]. Members are encouraged to attend the meetings as input for ideas for future activities are an important part of the mission of this group.
