Hearts That Give, Holidays That Shine!


The holidays are the perfect time to sprinkle kindness everywhere — and once again, the Hearts of Miromar are spreading joy through the Toys for Kids initiative! This wonderful program, led by the San Carlos Fire Department, brings holiday magic to local children — from the tiniest tots to teens — who might otherwise go without.


This year, donations are lower than usual, so let’s do what the Hearts do best — lift others up and make spirits bright!


If you don’t have time to shop, no worries! Monetary donations are warmly welcomed and will go directly toward purchasing toys for kids of all ages. Every contribution, big or small, helps ensure every child experiences the joy, wonder, and sparkle of the season.


Together, we can make this holiday truly heartwarming — one gift, one smile, and one generous heart at a time. ❤️

Get ready to rock and roll down memory lane! It’s never too early to mark your calendar and start brushing up on those chart-topping hits from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s!


Join us on Thursday, January 29, at Vichino’s in Bonita Springs for a totally tubular night of Music Trivia that’ll have you singing, laughing, and maybe even dancing in your seat.


So, dust off those bell-bottoms, tease up that hair, and get ready to test your music smarts! More details to come — but for now, save the date for this blast from the past!

What’s Next Committee – Lending a Hand (or a Walker!)


Our Lending Medical Equipment Registry is growing — thank you to everyone who’s already joined in to help a fellow Heart!


If you have gently used medical equipment to share (like walkers, knee scooters, or crutches) or if you’re in need of something for recovery or mobility, we’re here to connect you.


Simply call D’Lee Bartholome at 765-744-1831 to lend or request an item. The more members who participate, the faster we can get the right help to those who need it.


Together, we’re proving once again that the Hearts of Miromar community truly looks out for one another! 💞
