Jumpin’ June Happy Hour for Hope

Kiwanis Club of Marco Island hosted a very successful Happy Hour for Hope on Tuesday, June 18th at Sami's. Over 43 guests enjoyed a delicious buffet provided by Sami's with musical entertainment provided by Lance Shearer. Happy Hours of Hope is a combined effort of Kiwanis Club of Marco Island, Sunrise Rotary, and Noontime Rotary to raise the necessary funds for our annual Meals of Hope packaging event which will provide food for the needy in our community. The Meals of Hope packaging event will take place this year on November 9th, and we hope to be able to package 200,000 meals. 

Sue Purvis of Meals of Hope welcomed everyone and thanked this year's Friends of Hope, a group of businesses and individuals who have made a substantial contribution to the cause. The 50/50 drawing winner, Pat Hagedorn, donated her winnings back to the cause. Sami's graciously donated gift cards to lucky winners. Several members of Kiwanis Club of Marco Island were on hand to make the event run smoothly. Thank you to Sami's and to all those who participated to help with this worthwhile event!
