2023 CLUB Happenings

Loaves and Fishes and Shop with a Cop
Loaves and Fishes and Shop with a Cop November’s General Membership Meeting was an opportunity to recon[1]nect and socialize. Although there was not a Community Service Program presented, Loaves and Fishes and the Apopka Police were present to re[1]ceive checks. It’s always a blessing to be able to donate to these worthy organizations who give so much love and support to our community.

March 2023
OUR BUNCO DAY Our Bunco Fundraiser was March 25. If you missed it, YOU MISSED A GREAT TIME. Thank you to our committee, Sandy, Kathy, Katie, Pauline, Mary Ann, Geri, Pam, Christy Kay, Eleanor, Adele, Lorraine, and Bev for a job well done. You all were great to work with and made it run smoothly. Also, a big thank you to all club members that donated items for the Bunco and Door prizes and to those that bought tickets. It took a club ef[1]fort to make this event a success. We profited $1297.35 for our club which goes to support our operating expenses of the club. Remember the proceeds of the Art and Foliage Festival supports our scholarships and donations that we give out. Let's make it bigger next year. Dena, Morrow Joann Castillo, and Sharon Fisher Ways & Means Committee.
Volunteer of the Year At our March General Meeting, Susan Bornmann presented a very surprised Marla Behari with the Volunteer of the Year award. Marla joined our club during the pandemic and has jumped right in with both feet and goes above and beyond in her efforts. You can find Marla collecting recy[1]cled items such as eyeglasses and hearing aids; canvassing her neighbors for candy for Halloween in the Park and offering herself up in leadership roles. Great job Marla, you are an asset
