This month’s Trawler Spotlight shines brightly on Chris and Leslie Klancnik from Arlington Heights, Illinois. The couple have been together since meeting at Bradley University, where Leslie was a sophomore from St. Louis and Chris a sophomore from Palatine, IL. Both are still working up north but are able to get some time here in Florida to break up winter’s chill. Leslie is employed as a hardware sales rep, a job that entails more responsibility than it sounds. Chris runs a third-generation machine company providing widgets to a variety of businesses including the U.S. military and aerospace concerns.
They are parents to three adult children, two sons and a daughter, and both parents spent a considerable amount of time ferrying the crew around to various youth soccer and hockey events. The couple shopped around Fort Myers before choosing The Landings because of our outstanding amenities and location. Chris played some soccer right into adulthood, and both he and Leslie look forward to getting involved in tennis, golf and boating, a pastime they enjoy in Illinois on their Mastercraft vessel. They enjoy cruising with a favorite destination being Italy. As a youth Leslie spent time with her father’s Lions Club travel to Australia and New Zealand, which provide her with wonderful memories. Welcome to Trawler Village.
Another Trawler resident who warrants some overdue and well-deserved accolades is Bruce Simmons, our electrical magician who worked tirelessly refurbishing the village lights that adorn our streets, walkways, pool and carports! Bruce is another outstanding example of community resources bettering the lives of Trawler residents! Thank you, Bruce!
The annual Margarita Madness Party was, again, a huge success with over 100 attendees. Doug Craig and Vicky Lino were instrumental behind the scenes preparing “that frozen concoction” that helps us all hang on and getting the site setup and broken down. A great time was had by all.
Finally, the Trawler golf team finished 11th in the Intervillage Golf Challenge with strong efforts from all 12 participants. I wish you all “Fair winds and following seas!”
