The Spring Golf Outing was held May 6th at the Plantation Palms Golf Club. The Centennial Celebration sponsored by IBM at the Straz Center on June 17 was attended by 547 folks including 235 retirees, spouses, and guests.
Flyers are included for the following upcoming events:

Also included is a flyer for the Florida IBM Club which serves active and retired IBMers and their families.

Retirees participated with active employees performing volunteer projects for the Day of Service which was part of the IBM 100 year anniversary commemoration. Retirees also contributed supplies for teachers to Teaching Tools Supplies Collections. For the 6th year, IBM volunteers will be providing mentors for students at Tinker Elementary School located on MacDill Air Force Base.
