Select an ornament tag from the Angel Tree 2. Note your tag number on the sign-up sheet 3. Purchase an appropriate gift using the guidelines on the ornament tag 4. Return the unwrapped gift to the Club by Friday, December 4 Your local Boys & Girls Club will handle the rest by making sure the gifts are wrapped and delivered to each child! We work very hard to make your time spent at Tiburón enjoyable. If we succeed, please tell your friends. If we don’t, please tell me. We look forward to seeing each of you at the Club soon and often!

Since WCI Communities had its last condo sales closing within the Tiburόn community, the focus of our marketing within Tiburόn is now with resale residences and upgrades to Medallion Membership. In addition, I am targeting new and existing nongolf club communities with opportunities to visit Tiburόn Golf Club and experience the lifestyle of our amenities. Our Facebook page continues to grow as we now have 15,257 Likes, compared to 14,862 last month at this time. We have 1,288 Twitter followers. We will be launching Instagram and a blog in the next 60 days. During our two golf events coming up, the LPGA CME Group Tour Championship and the Franklin Templeton Shootout, many of our top prospects will be invited and entertained at Tiburόn Golf Club.
