| Welcome to our facilities
view. The building we occupy here in Tamarac, Florida,
was built in the 1960's. It started as a tennis and racquet ball club. In the 70s and
80s it housed an upscale continental / oriental
restaurant, closing in the late
80's. Empty for a while, purchased by
the Police Benevolent Officers Association.
We bought
the building and land from them in 2000 with a horrendous
mortgage, a tremendous struggle to pay every
month, but we did. The facilities, as we bought
them, consisted of a 15,000 square feet clubhouse plus a
couple of auxiliary buildings on 6 1/2 acres of
land.
Early in 2006, we sold off the back half of
the land for more money than we paid for everything in
2000. This allowed us to pay off the mortgage (phew, what a relief) and to put money in the bank.
We're beginning to spend a little bit
of our 'spare change' to give this beloved facility
a much needed facelift.
