Together We Can Do So Much

The Woman’s Club’s motto, “Why you were born and why you are living depends on what you are getting out of this world and what you are giving” was front and center at the Club’s lunch meeting on October 6, 2021. Guest speaker Allyson Richards, Marco Island’s full-time volunteer extraordinaire, shared her passion for volunteering and her knowledge of the myriad of local volunteer opportunities available on the Island while the audience participated in a quick and easy volunteer exercise during her talk - placing wrapped candies into baggies for Al’s Pals         volunteers to distribute to children at the next day’s mobile food pantry.

Club President Debbie Rago, who generously volunteered to extend her term as President for an additional year as the Club navigates the challenges presented by the pandemic, told members that she is “proud to lead this group again this year and looks forward to continuing the Club’s mission to recognize and address community needs, as we see them.”

For 55 years the Club has been serving our community. Look for this week’s article in the Coastal Breeze on another of the Club’s most recognized contributions to the Island – the Marco Youth Center - and the history behind it!
