name, chosen by Eglin members via a
"Name Your Club" Contest. With all the
votes counted, the winning name had
its public unveiling on July 8th, 2011,
and the Eglin Club officially became
"The Bayview Club!" With this fresh new
identity in place, the Club has renewed
its dedication to providing the top quality
programs and services that have made it
an award-winning Air Force Club and a
beloved part of the Eglin community.

individual support—to service

even spontaneous outreach
opportunities for discussing
issues experienced within
the military community, and
also delivers presentations on
deployment stress, reintegration,
coping skills and building
resiliency. For more information
