Landings Landlovers
Enriching the Community We Love
|
|
Happy New Year! Landlovers finished the year with a busy December. Bell ringers, organized by Tim Forbes (who filled the schedule in record time), rang for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign again this year. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to ring and to those who stopped by to donate. Karen Duncan and Jane Golz organized a festive and fun Holiday Golf cart parade. We were serenaded by the newly formed Landlovers Lovelies choral group, collected toys for the Marines “Toys for Tots” program, decorated and lit our Landings Palm Tree, visited with Santa, enjoyed food from food trucks and hot chocolate served by Landlovers. This was the first Landlovers planned community event and it will surely become one of our new traditions. Kathy Collura and Milli Sample ordered a perfect night for a Campfire evening at Skidaway State Park Pavilion. The storyteller, Bourbon Boys musicians, and food were all wonderful, but mostly we enjoyed spending time with new and old friends. It was a magical evening and a perfect way to ring in the Holidays.
2023 promises to be another busy year. January begins our fund-raising season.
