Florida PODS Angels ANNUAL POOL PARTY at Family CAFE Conference!
For our 5th year now we've hosted our Florida PODS Angels ANNUAL POOL PARTY at the Family CAFE pool! This is a FUN time where families from across the entire State of Florida finally get to meet and put a face to their internet family support!

Florida PODS Angels ANNUAL POOL PARTY will be on Saturday, June 9th  Anywhere between 4 and 7PM at The Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida
 
Families from the East coast as well as the West coast of Florida and all places in between. This is a time we all are able to put a face to our internet family support group. We are happy to say we are now over 500 members strong and still growing!
 
Last year a wealth of information and support was afloat the waters at the Caribe Royal fun filled Kiddie pool. In the Paradise pool is an exciting 75 foot waterslide, relaxing decks and a waterfall cave! Our annual pool party was in the interactive discovery pool for the younger ones.

We had Pizza and juice. Many invited someone new that they just met at The Family CAFE. The Discovery/Kiddie pool was filled with over 50 beach balls and rubber duckies and little fishing poles for our children.
