Our first luncheon for the 26-27 NPCREA speakers circuit included a speaker from FAST and a collection for Clothes To Kids. We were very excited to have as our guest, Chloe Goode, a representative of (FAST) Faith and Action for Strength Together in Pinellas County. FAST is a non-partisan 501(c)3 non-profit organization that facilitates training for county residents to identify the root causes of community problems and to advocate for positive outcomes. We all know how important it is to collaborate for better outcomes for many situations and enjoyed hearing from Chloe about what her role is in this wonderful effort. After her presentation, there were many thoughtful questions and conversations about our community and issues facing it.
A big thank you to
Darlene P who gave a very inspirational message commemorating 9/11 and the importance of always remembering what happened. Members shared where they were on that fateful day.
Linda M, are treasurer provided the thought of the day and the monthly treasurer’s report. Linda thanked members who brought in payment for this year’s membership and reminded the rest of us to make sure our payments were up-to-date.
We enjoyed a delicious Italian buffet of fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, steamed veggies, garlic toast, salad and ice cream for dessert. After lunch, we held our door prize drawing as well as our share the wealth prizes.
