HEARTS OF MIROMAR

WEEKLY UPDATE

 

November is here, and with it comes a wonderful reminder of the connections we create — the laughter, the shared stories, and the moments that turn acquaintances into lifelong friends. Every smile, every conversation, every act of kindness ripples outward, brightening not just our own lives but the lives of everyone around us.


This month, let’s celebrate the power of our Hearts community — the joy we bring to each other, the support we share, and the impact we make together. Connection is at the heart of everything we do, and the magic truly happens when we gather, laugh, and lift each other up!



Here’s to a November filled with friendship, sparkle, and meaningful moments!

Honoring Women Who Served


Join us for a special November luncheon as we celebrate and honor the incredible women who have served our country.

November & December Charity

Hearts That Give, Holidays That Shine!


Our Hearts of Miromar charity for November and December is the Toys for Kids initiative, led by the San Carlos Fire Department. This wonderful program brings holiday joy to local children — from tiny tots to teens — who might otherwise go without.


Donations are lower this year, so let’s do what the Hearts do best — spread kindness and make spirits bright! 🎁


If shopping isn’t on your list, monetary donations are warmly welcomed and go directly toward purchasing toys for kids of all ages. Checks should be made payable to Hearts of Miromar.


Together, we can make the season sparkle — one gift and one generous heart at a time. ❤️
