Membership Growth at University Club of Orlando revives plans to expand historic Central Blvd. facility
ORLANDO - Membership at the University Club of Orlando has increased by nearly 30 percent over the past year and University Club officials are now revisiting plans to either expand the current, historic 50-year-old facility on Central Blvd. at Rosalind Avenue in downtown Orlando, or partner with a developer to build a new facility.
Orlando attorney Greg McNeill, president of the University Club of Orlando, said expansion plans were put on hold two years ago by the real estate downturn.
McNeill said changes to the club’s once restrictive membership policy have been instrumental in changing the perception of the Club with minority, women and younger candidates and that has made all the difference.
“The University Club of Orlando has accepted 115 new members since last July,” said McNeill.
“That’s almost 30 percent membership growth in one year – a phenomenal growth rate for a private club,” he said. “We have the best location in downtown Orlando and are again looking at our long term opportunities.”
McNeill recently appointed an advisory board to focus on increasing membership among women and minority candidates, as well as future executives. “Diversity among our membership will keep the club prosperous and vibrant into the 21st century,” he said.

Ormond Beach Outback Fundraiser Raises More Than $1,300 for Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter
ORMOND BEACH – More than 200 animal lovers attended a recent luncheon at the Ormond Beach Outback Restaurant and raised some $1,300 that will be used to build a “state-of-the-art-with-a-heart” facility for the Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter Inc.
“We couldn’t believe that the restaurant was packed at both sittings,” said Amy Wade-Carotenuto, the animal group’s founder and executive director.
In addition to Rescued Hearts’ members and volunteers, Wade-Carotenuto said many others from throughout Volusia and Flagler counties attended the June 12 luncheon.
“We made lots of new friends and we even signed up a few new members who wanted to help our cause,” she added.
Some of those who showed up got into the spirit by donning fuzzy rabbit or dog ears, or bringing along stuffed snakes and monkeys.
Two lucky diners took home floral arrangements featuring a dog made of white carnations that was donated by The flower Market in Ormond Beach and raffled off by Rescued Hearts.
Because the event was so successful, Wade-Carotenuto said she and restaurant owner Jason Luj have scheduled a second fund-raising luncheon for Nov. 13 at his Granada Boulevard location.
“The management and staff did a wonderful job hosting and we’re really looking forward to working with them again,” she said.
Rescued Hearts is a 501C(3) non-profit agency that organized in 2007 with a goal of helping animals in Volusia and Flagler counties.
Wade-Carotenuto said the group’s goal is to purchase land in west Volusia to build an animal shelter and spay/neuter hospital that will “never turn away any animal.”
