Meet Kathy Stinnett
What an amazing benefit it is to have our own mail center inside the TGO grounds, and thanks to Kathy Stinnett and her staff, it is a very efficient operation. Kathy has been our Mail Center Guru for over 16 years - and from what we saw, it is no easy task. Receiving and shipping nearly 40,000 packages a year is a daunting chore. Then there is the regular mail service. Keeping track of RV site mail versus residential mail, helping residents with storing their mail while they are gone and the forwarding of their mail. It definitely fills up Kathy’s day. Read more on page 16
Anastasia State Park - St. Augustine
Just north of us in St. Augustine is a great place to get away, the Anastasia State Park. This park is perfect for the RV campers and nature lovers alike... plus the city of St. Augustine is a “Must See” with its Spanish colonial architecture, fantastic restaurants and historical tours - claiming rights to the oldest city in America. Our very own TGO nature photographer, Robin Francis, shares with us how much fun there is along the beaches and bike paths and the great watersports opportunities. Make sure to look at the online version of The Happenings for more of Robin’s fantastic nature images. Continued on page 20
