As it turned out Smugglers Cove only charged us $8.00 each for 16 golfers vs $9.00 each which we collected from everyone.
Instead of giving everyone a refund of $1.00 each we are going to donate $16.00 to Support Our Troops (SOT) which is almost enough to send one SOT box overseas.

Link below has photos taken by Woz.
Craig Hullinger posted his photos on the MOAS Website & Blog.
If you had taken any photos, please send them to Craig.
Next year, based on the feedback you gave us, we will schedule the mini-golf & post golf dinner on a weekday to have a smaller crowd at Smugglers Cove and at Jo-To Japanese Steakhouse. Wednesday 24 February 2021 looks good and since this will be the 4th Wednesday of the month, we will combine the events with our Roaming Meet & Greet. For February this year, having four MOAS YAHOO social events in the month may have been too much for many...not for Woz, but probably for most.
Hope you all had a good time.

Rene Faessler hits a hole in one. He also drove Craig Hullinger's ball in for another hole in one for Craig, allowing Craig to beat Woz by one stroke. Thanks, Rene.

MOAA Presentation Ringling College of Arts & Design
Military Officers Association Enjoys a Presentation on the Ringling College of Arts & Design
Southwest FL – At the January luncheon the Military Officers Association of Sarasota we enjoyed a very informative presentation on Ringling College of Art and Design given by VP for Advancement Stacy Corley. She discussed many aspects of the College to include their varied curriculum. A BA or BFA is available in 14 different majors with 9 different minors. She featured two videos in her presentation; one showing life at the college and the area, and the second, a senior thesis animated short story demonstrating the value of creativity.
The student body is from 57 countries, 44 states, 4 Commonwealths & territories, with 36% Floridians. There are over 40 veteran students and several veterans on staff. Ringling’s tuition was $42,000 for 2019-2020 school year, and over 90% of the students receive some form of financial aid.
Almost 70% of the students live on campus as the studies are very intense and students use the computer labs at all hours.
Ringling students have received 14 Student Academy Awards; the school is rated as the #1 Game Art school in the US, and #3 in the world; one of the Top 16 Film Schools; #2 in the US for Illustration & #2 for Animation; Graphic Design USA named Ringling a Top Design school; and US News and World Report named Ringling ‘The Most Wired Campus in America’.
