“In 1998, Peter Zahner and Rita Rüedi took the initiative to found the SWISS AMERICAN CLUB OF SW FLORIDA. On November 25, 1998, the inauguration was highly successful and very dignified in a celebration at the “Kensington Golf and Country Club”, Naples. Over 130 Swiss, from Marco Island to Englewood, decided spontaneously to join the newly founded Club.”
“The purpose of our club shall be to encourage greater contact between Swiss, Swiss descendants or friends of Switzerland, through organized formal or informal social activities and entertainment within the area of Southwest Florida (Charlotte, Lee, Hendry and Collier County), and in addition, to encourage visitors, who only temporarily visit this area (snowbirds), to participate in the social activities.
We organize a series of traditional events such as our picnic, Golf Tournament, 1st of August, Fondue Night, New Years Brunch and other events. Additionally, there are a number of other informal events planned such entertainment events, sunset cruises, museum visits, bike discovery tours. Historical walk tours, educational talks and many other activities.
There is something for everyone and we continuously look for new ideas to bring to our members. If you have any idea for an event or activity, feel free to send us an email.”
