The Kings Point Baby Boomers Club was the brain-child of Ken and Cheryl Kaplan, who
began spreading the idea of a club intended for those Kings Point residents who desired
to extend their network of friends to include those of a similar age group and social
interests. It wasn't long before it became obvious that there was a need to address the
"Boomer" generation's unique life style, including their music, their memories and their
need to share their retirement years in a more upbeat environment. The Club's
organization meeting was held in September 2005 with approximately 20 people in
attendance, and its first officers were elected.
 

The need for a Mission Statement to properly describe the purpose of the club and its
openness towards "Boomers" of all ages, was the next major hurdle to be overcome, and
with the spirited help of Michelle Jolly and the newly elected officers, the following
Mission Statement was adopted.

A new generation of retirees, known as Baby Boomers, has arrived at Kings Point. Some
are snowbirds, securing their retirement homes early and making solid real estate
investments. Many are enjoying full time retirement at a younger age than their parents
did. Many of us still work part or full time, and are unable to participate in daytime
activities.

Our goal is to create a more youthful vibe in King’s Point, generating
activities that will embrace the nostalgia of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and
take advantage of the evening hours. We welcome all who have the
‘spirit’ of youthfulness and wish to share in our activities.
Within the first nine months, the membership of the club grew from 20
to over 400 individuals, enjoying activities including Wine and Tapas
Party, Twilight Bowling Party and Buffet, Pot Luck Dinners, Game
Nights, Dances, Karaoke, Shuffleboard/Volleyball/Billiard parties, and
trips to the Doo-Wop Reunion and Key West.
 

The Fine Print
All members must reside in Kings Point. Guests, sponsored by a
member, are welcome at most events. Annual dues for the club are
$10.00 per person per calendar year. A completed Waiver of Liability
and the first year’s dues are all that is required to secure
membership. For all the details, see the Club By-Laws.
