IFC SHORT CAST
September, 2014
Dear Members:
September 13th is fast approaching for our annual closing for general
Maintenance and Capital Improvements.
Our last dinner service will be Saturday September 13th and we will
reopen Tuesday September 30th
The last few years we were very busy with interior, exterior and overall
club improvements. We will only be doing some cleaning and organizing
this year, with a couple of surprises. No major improvements are scheduled.
Although our staff will be on vacation, I will be here most days and
available to you should you need anything.
As we get closer to the upcoming season, please think of the club first for
any special events you may be planning.
Sincerely,
Vinnie

Dear Islamorada Fishing Club Members,
In continuing the new tradition of updating our members of IFACT’s recent activities I thought what better way to kick
off September than with a back to school edition. This past May we awarded 10 graduating seniors a total of $21,000 in
scholarships! We wanted to take a moment and recognize these students for making a commitment to receive a higher
education in an environmental or marine field. Thankfully we live in a small but gracious community and with that we
know many of the families in our 125 mile island chain and wanted to recognize these students and their awards below.
If you know any of these students or their families please reach out to them and let them know we recognize their hard
work and achievements while in high school.
Michala Laufle-Coral Shores High School
Benjamin Colmes-Coral Shores High School
Salvador Barrios-Coral Shores High School
Azia Keever-Coral Shores High School
Sierra Ohrmundt-Coral Shores High School
Aimee Erickson-Coral Shores High School
Sarah Dodamead-Marathon High School
Cody Dominicak-Marathon High School
Jonathan Rios-Marathon High School
Scott Brown-Key West High School
These scholarships are able to be given due to generous donations from our members and our community. If anyone has
any questions on how to donate or where to donate please let me know, and stay tuned for some upcoming IFACT fundraisers to help keep these funds in place.
Warm Wishes,
Kara Lundgren
