Story & Photography by Tony Centonze The Villages at the River Club recently hosted a Happy Hour social for friends and residents. Nosh, nibbles, and delightful drinks were had by all. The ambient music, bubbling atmosphere, and smiles on the faces of all who came made it a truly ‘Happy Hour’ indeed.

“We lost my wife Cindy to cancer,” Steve Slater said. “She was selfless, and that’s what this is about. She would be humbled by this for sure. Cindy was the type of person who would give someone the shirt off her back. So, the money raised at this event will be directed toward folks that may need it a little more than we do. “

Slater says all the funds raised will be given to various charities in her name. “And Jake plans to help people, like the person at Walmart who needs to pay off a layaway, or the person at the gas pump who is putting $2 worth in their tank because that’s all they have,” Steve Slater said. “My son, Dr. Jake Slater made all this happen. He is all about giving back to his community.”

Jake Slater was moved by the tremendous show of support from the community. He had this to say, “from the bottom or our hearts, my family, my office, we thank everyone, the volunteers, the players and sponsors, everyone who showed up to support us at this event.”
