Let’s Celebrate!
Goodbye Breakfast
Say goodbye to our retired teaching queen over a scenic breakfast!
Location TBD
Beach Party
Come on over to Karen and Bob’s house for a day of beach relaxation. Timing is flexible so come on over when you can!
It would not be a retirement worthy of Karen Nikla if we didn’t bring the whole neighborhood in on this one, #blockparty
Chef Bob will be hosting a lunch cookout so come hungry!
To anyone local-ish/ my fellow Floridians, please bring beach chairs, floats, and games if you have any! We will be on a local piece of beach property and Bob and Karen have limited supplies to accommodate everyone. The neighbors will have to fend for themselves but if you have any extra chairs or umbrella’s to share I know a few of the out of towners would appreciate it.
