Kiwanis Hosts Happy Hour for Hope

On Marco Island, Happy Hours for Hope celebrate good times for a good cause. Sunrise Rotary, Noontime Rotary, and the Kiwanis Club of Marco Island take turns hosting these fun monthly gatherings that raise funds for Meals of Hope in the mission to eliminate hunger in Collier County. Admission to each Happy Hour for Hope is a suggested donation of just $20. 

Pinchers was the place to be as the Kiwanis Club recently hosted the September Happy Hour for Hope. Attendees enjoyed a fabulous selection of appetizers, including shrimp cocktail, chicken tenders, chips and dip, and more! And let’s not forget those 2 for 1 happy hour beverages! A good time was had by all!

The evening was enhanced with the soothing acoustic sounds of singer/songwriter/guitarist Daphne Winters. Daphne writes her own music in various styles, but also enjoys playing classic rock covers. Her haunting renditions of Fleetwood Mac’s “Songbird,” Bread’s “Everything I Own,” and other great old tunes fed our souls with cherished memories of days gone by. She has performed throughout California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Arizona opening for Edgar Winter, the Tubes, Foghat, and Jack Russell – Great White. We are very grateful that she generously shared her talents with us in support of Meals of Hope. Daphne loves performing in Southwest Florida and is available for hire as a solo artist at events and private parties.

A 50-50 drawing always adds to the fun and funds of the happy hours, and this turnout had a winning combination of some additional prizes. Pinchers generously donated several gift certificates to Pinchers and other associated restaurants. 

Proceeds from all Happy Hours for Hope will be used to purchase raw food materials for the Meals of Hope packaging event in November. Be sure to visit https://mohmi.org to learn more, donate, and register to volunteer. 

Mark your calendars now for the next Happy Hour for Hope – October 24th at Marriott Crystal Shores. Join the fun and support the cause!
