If you have not yet attended one of our meetings, Blue Goose is a fraternal organization of men and women who work in the insurance industry. Our membership extends across the United States and Canada. Our mission is to promote Character, Charity and Fellowship.
We invite you to visit with us, to meet the Ganders, and to learn about our organization and the “Puddle” we have formed in the Sarasota / Bradenton area. Please join us.

Directions for those not knowing the area:
To get there, take I-75 to the CR 610, Sarasota-Bradenton Airport and Lakewood Ranch exit with "University Parkway" in small lettering on the exit sign (Exit 213). Then go east to the first traffic light. Turn left to a dead end. Then turn right onto a two-way traffic circle. Go 180 degrees to the direct other side and turn right. Go straight through two traffic lights. The building will be to the right with big "BALLROOM" letters. Look for the much smaller "Polo" sign for the correct entrance.
