Happy New Year! Fill That Truck Food Drive

Leslie Boehlert Lifestyles Director LBoehlert@ Evergreen-LM.com 772-800-2505

January 12th from 8:30am-2pm We’re starting the New Year off with a worthy charitable cause - a food drive! We’re partnering with GRACE PACKS Inc. and Sunrise Ford to help provide breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack items at the end of each school week to students who may be suffering from food insecurity. You may begin dropping off your food donations at 8:30am in the Captiva Club Parking Lot. From 12pm-2pm, the first 150 people donating food will receive a FREE hot dog, chips and soda! The items most needed are Chef Boyardee products like pastas and mac and cheese, as well as six-packs of raisins, and fruit cups. Please come out and help us FILL THAT TRUCK!!! The Event Planning committee and I have received so many suggestions for upcoming events. We have a full year planned with a good mix of entertainment, including another comedy night, tribute bands, pasta night, pub crawl, Irish Trio and dancers, Mix and Mingle, bus trips, lectures, and, of course, our ever popular dance nights and holiday parties! Thank you for continuing to bring your suggestions to me. All the best for a healthy, active, New Year!
