Dear Members,

September 20th is fast approaching for our annual closing, we will re-open for dinner on Tuesday, October 6th. Although our staff will be on vacation, I will be available most days during the week catching up.

We have introduced a new menu in the Grand Slam Bar And hope you come by and try something new Although it is typically slow this time of year we have seen a slight uptick in business this summer. I wanted to thank all our members for their continued support during these "Dog Days of Summer". 

Many of you may not be aware that as a valued member of the Islamorada Fishing Club we invite you to take advantage of the many other clubs throughout the United States, Alaska, Hawaii and the Virgin Islands with whom we have reciprocity.

The Islamorada Fishing Club pays annual dues to Yachting Clubs of America in order for you to have this privilege. A complete Guide of Reciprocal Clubs is available at the Club or online at www.yca@aol.com.

This is such a valuable amenity for our members while traveling. If you plan to travel and would like to know if there is a club in the area you will be traveling to, please ask at the host stand to look at the book. I will also give you a letter of Good Standing to take on your trip.

As a courtesy you should contact the club prior to your visit and inquire on hours of operation, availability, dress code and anything you find pertinent to your visit.

Sincerely, 

Vinnie Feola
General Manager
Islamorada Fishing Club

Dear Members,

Attendance is way up at our new facility and it is directly attributed to the atmosphere, the quality of our food and the exceptional team that we have. We are extremely pleased with the outpouring of support and usage of the club. Having said that, please keep in mind that we are a private, membership-driven club that does have some requirements and house rules we need to recognize and follow. I would like to just reiterate our club dress code for those who may be uncertain of the club expectations.

* All members and guests shall dress in an appropriate manner at all times while on the dub premises.
* Shoes, pants, shorts, shirts and cover ups shall be required at all times in the dub.
* Athletic shorts, tight work out type leggings, tank tops, crop tops or similar are not appropriate attire for the dining room.
* Baseball caps, or other types of hats are not to be worn in the dining room during dinner hours unless the dress code is relaxed for a special event or occasion such as a party or costume party.
* Suggested attire for the dining room in the evenings would include slacks, dresses, collared shirts, denim that is not tattered or worn, dress shorts with a collared shirt.
* Unless otherwise noted for a specific event or party, coats and/or ties are not required but are always welcomed.

For the most part, the above dress code is rarely abused but I have been noticing more baseball caps in the dining room during evening seating. Hopefully, by bringing this up we can curb that trend and encourage everyone to do their part to make all of our experiences special at the incredibly special place we now have. rely, Thank you in advance for your attention to this and I look forward to seeing you at IFC!

Sincerely,

Joe Roth
IFC President (On behalf of the Board of Directors)
