About Us

Gulf Coast Friends meets once a month on the 2nd Thursday of the month, from September through May. We meet at 10:30 am at the Pensacola Bay Center- check this website or our newsletter for details.

After our meet and greet session, we conduct our business meeting. Next, we are entertained by a special guest speaker, have some type of entertainment, or play a game with other members. At about noon, we have our luncheon. The meeting cost is typically $20.00 per person and you must make a reservation if you want to attend. See our monthly newsletter for details on the program, cost, location and procedure for making a reservation.

GCF members are encouraged to bring guests who will perhaps become new members. New members are introduced at the monthly luncheon and are presented by our first vice president, who is in charge of new members. Annual dues of $30.00 a year is payable by May 31. We welcome new members from Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Pensacola Beach, Pensacola, Milton and surrounding areas.  If you would like more information, please email gulfcoastfriends20@gmail.com.

During the year, we have programs and events to support our membership.  Such programs in the past have included fashion shows, garage sales, trips to Biloxi, chili or soup cook-offs, etc. We also hold an annual Craft Fair to raise money for our charities. Our activity groups provide a great way to get to know other members in a small group setting. We are a 501(C)7, Social club.

Our GCF men are invited to several events each year, typically the Christmas party,  end-of-year “Spring Fling” picnic,  Game Day and bus trips.
