Michael Colligan was our longest employee at RPYC and has recently been working at The Landings. He underwent major surgery on Sept. 6th at Lee Memorial Hospital and again on Sept. 10th. We have been told he has a long road to recovery and could use any financial help he can get. Michael was not only a dedicated employee but was also held in fond regard by many of our longtime members and we wish him a speedy recovery.
It has been suggested that any donations be made to Michael directly.
If you are interested in helping Michael out with his medical expenses you can mail a check directly to ..

. Once you have a paid receipt please get it to Joan and you will be reimbursed by the Club for the cost of your transportation.
