Paul Grisko, right, and Olivia Guzzo were among the many children and families invited from Tommie Barfield Elementary to spend Sunday brunch at the Marco Island Yacht Club. MIYC Membership Director Darlene Meadows and member Gayle Collins organized the event to promote more family activities at the Yacht Club. “The whole idea is to bring the parents in for a tour of the club while the kids fish,” Collins said. Gayle Collins said this is just the first of many more monthly activities to come to promote more family memberships. Future activities include a Junk Food and Bingo night for kids while parents can enjoy dinner, and a family barbecue and pool party. “We have to get the word out that we’re happy to receive other boaters here — we’re a social club,” Gayle’s husband, Bill Collins, said.
