Our November luncheon will be in the historic Belmont DeVilliers neighborhood of downtown Pensacola.

We will meet in DeVilliers Square. Leaders from two nonprofit agencies focusing on education will tell us about their missions and the clients they serve. 

Speakers include: (1) Vanessa Mayes, Executive Director of The Global Corner; and (2) Gladys Scott, Co-Founder of Sisters of Hope Center.

Lunch will be catered by Five Sisters Blues Cafe.

Marti Hearn was the guest speaker at the October RSVP Lunch and Learn. She focused on how to select a Medicare plan and how to avoid becoming a victim of Medicare fraud.  

Marti is the SHINE liaison for Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton Counties where she leads a team of trained counselors who help seniors with all their Medicare issues.

AmeriCorps members from the Escambia County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) delivered gently used books to Little Free Libraries in our community for Day of Caring on October 7. This is the largest annual service event hosted by the United Way of West Florida (UWWF).

A big shout out to Dave Mathews who served as project coordinator. He also built a new door for the library on Government Street in front of the UWWF office building. Let's all continue to "To take a book. Share a book."
