UPDATE 29

In 1983 Mike’s Burgee Bar opened above the dive pool in the Fishing Village.  In 1991, it was renamed Bubba’s, illuminated by a neon sign against its newly painted pink exterior. We are pleased to report that the Burgee Baryou have known and enjoyed for the past twenty-five years is reopening today at 11:30 a.m.for NFL Football. The menu will be limited but the spirit (and spirits) will not!

SUPPORT FOR OUR ASSOCIATES AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY CALL HOME

There are two options where you can help:
 
The first is with a tax-deductible donation to the Ocean Reef Community Foundation. This can be accomplished through your Donor Advised Fund, either directly with the Foundation or charged at your request, to your Membership account. Donations to the Foundation will target support for the Club’s Associates while also assisting the surrounding communities, including the devastated areas of the Florida Keys. EIN/Tax ID # is 65-0509255
 
A second option is with a non-deductible donation directly to the Club and those funds will be 100% dispersed to our associates.
