Pomegranates enjoy afternoon of friendship and philanthropy

By Debra Antzis, 2024 Pomegranate Society Chair

The Pomegranates held their annual luncheon at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center on Monday, Feb. 26, showcasing the important work of Cultivate Abundance, a wonderful organization working to address food insecurity in Immokalee. Cultivate Abundance Executive Director and Co-founder Ellen Burnett told us about the many ways the organization achieves its goals.

We Pomegranates are partnering with Cultivate Abundance to establish a new orchard in Immokalee, and I hope that next year around this time, we’ll be able to take a trip to see what’s growing there and celebrate the way we are helping to address food insecurity in our community. Thank you all for supporting this important work.

In addition to the lecture, the ladies enjoyed a delightful lunch catered by Prestige Catering, welcomed new Pomegranates and shared the afternoon visiting with good friends. As a new member myself, it was a lovely opportunity to get to know many more Pomegranates.

I hope to see more of you in March at our last gathering of the season. Keep your eyes open for more on that in your email inbox.
