Welcome to the Florida Pond Website!
*Pond Chartered on April 18, 1908*
We are an insurance professional fraternity founded June 19, 1906 on the banks of the "Mother Pond" at Green Lake, Wisconsin and dedicated to the Cardinal Principles of Character, Charity and Fellowship.
Our monthly gatherings on the "Banks of the Pond"
begin with social hour @ 5:00pm
followed by business meeting @ 6:00pm
(Locations change each month so see meeting listings below and check back frequently!)
As a cautionary note, we are NOT a marketing network. Please leave your marketing materials at the office. Anyone found distributing marketing materials or soliciting business on the banks of the Pond will be banished from the Pond. Our Ganders didn't join the Blue Goose to be solicited or hassled for business, but rather to come together in a social and friendly relationship, and in the spirit of good cheer, to support our favorite charitable and educational endeavors.
