Members welcomed Chief Meteorologist Allyson Rae from NBC Gulf Coast News for their February meeting at the Marco Hilton. Allyson spoke about the dynamics on forecasting Florida hurricanes and important tips to be prepared for hurricane season.

After a delicious lunch the program concluded with great gifts from our sponsors and our 50/50 raffle.

Sounds like fun? If you would like to attend a luncheon and join the fun, contact our membership chairs at www.marconewcomers.org.
