From the wilds of Florida’s Everglades to the space program’s launch pads, Florida women have shown relentless courage and a commitment to breaking barriers. Whether they were fighting for the preservation of nature, advocating for civil rights, or paving the way for future generations of women in science and technology, these women’s contributions have been invaluable to the development and greatness of Florida. Their stories of grit, strength, and courage are an enduring testament to the power of women in shaping history.

Join us to learn more about historic ‘Badass Florida Women” from our state.

For decades, Mark Even’s Southern Not Stupid show has been taking the country by storm and we are excited that now the storms have passed Mark is bringing his “Southern Not Stupid” comedy show to PHNC in March!

Through a blend of observational comedy and personal anecdotes, Evens challenges stereotypes and highlights the region’s charm and complexity.

Robert Jacob has been a passionate history buff and historical re-enactor for the past 40 years. At the January luncheon, He will discuss the beginning of our state’s history in the guise of Andrew Jackson. Join us for an exciting look back at our past! Once again, we invite our gentlemen friends to join this luncheon event.

Andrew Jackson, one of the most famous figures in American history, rocketed to fame with his stunning victory at the Battle of New Orleans. His bold actions in Florida cemented him as one of the most prominent figures in forming the United States. Jackson, Florida’s first governor and eventually the seventh President of the United States, invaded Florida several times when Florida was Spanish territory.
