See Big Cats and Prowl down Merritt Island

When: Saturday, March 3, 2007
Where: Cocoa Beach Area


Calling All Prowler Owners;

This is a rare opportunity to visit the Thunderhawk Big Cat Preserve (not open to the public) and take a leisurely cruise down Merritt Island.

The Thunderhawk Preserve is a private, non-profit, volunteer organization which is dedicated to the preservation and rescue of “Big” cats (tigers, panthers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, cougars and more). They rescue big cats from life-threatening situations (e.g. where they would be killed or euthanized) or from people who cannot take care of them anymore. They are willing to give us a guided tour of the facility and in return help them with some much needed donations. We might be able to get a photo op with a big cat and our Prowlers.

After a tour of the Thunderhawk Big Cat Preserve there will be a guided, leisurely cruise down Merritt Island. This is a great drive with plenty of scenery and photo ops. We will conclude our scenic drive in Melbourne with an early dinner overlooking the Intercoastal waterway.

Plan on meeting at 11AM just off I-95 Exit 202 (3 miles south 528 AKA Beachline Hwy). This unique event, centrally located on Florida’s East Coast and I am anticipating a large turnout. Please RSVP by Friday, February 23, 2007. More details to follow.


Thank You;

Sounds great & a lot of FUN, FUN, FUN but we have already made plans to attend The Villages get together the following weekend & don't think we can make 2 in a row. If things change, I'll let you know.

Thanks for planning this! :tu:

Looks like you had a nice turnout at your FL Kat Pack event over the weekend. Sorry we could not make it eventhough we were in FL for our daughter's wedding on Saturday.

Hope to see lots of FL Kat Pack members this weekend at Kandy Kat, 392 Hemi and Orange Peeler's "2nd Annual Prowlin' The Villages" weekend. 8-)
