Audubon Trip to the Brevard Zoo
March 3, 2025
On March 3, 2025, over 45 attendees boarded a bus in Grand Harbor to head to the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, FL. We all enjoyed some light snacks and refreshments on the morning trip
The day couldn’t be prettier and while there was no specific guided tour, attendees were free to explore the zoo at their own pace and use their provided lunch voucher at Nourish 321 Café to enjoy at their convenience. Brevard Zoo does an impressive job displaying the vast and varied animals (my personal favorite, the sloth), often presented in lush open-air habitats, with easy-to-follow meandering paths throughout.
Some of our attendees also took advantage of aerial adventures, train rides, and bird, marine life and animal feeding opportunities. It’s all happening at the Zoo!
After a fun day, we all enjoyed our bus trip home to Grand Harbor with an impressive array of snacks and refreshments again generously provided and served by Cindi Brunner. Servers assisting Cindi included Jeff Leswing, Barbara Kwiecinski, Kathy Philips and Deb Fletcher.

Tribute Pavers
Our program of selling tribute pavers in the Audubon Gardens has been warmly received by the Grand Harbor community. To date, more than 60 pavers have been engraved to thank friends, honor loved ones and celebrate milestone events. All proceeds are dedicated to improving and maintaining the gardens.
We expect the contractor to return in early May for the final round of engraving before the fall. If you have an interest in participating, please submit your order form and payment to us in the next few weeks. Order forms can be picked up at the concierge desk at the Club or downloaded from our website.

Nature Gardens
The Nature Gardens are located to the left of the Aqua Range behind the Main Clubhouse. Wander through the gardens and explore the beautiful flora and butterflies!
In order to maintain the gardens, monthly "worker bees" are held during the season where volunteers show up at their own convenience to pitch in with planting, weeding, mulching, trimming, etc., whatever is needed at the time. Gardening tools are available.
Please come join us in the Garden for a morning of beautification and friendship!
