Pine Island Food Pantry officials to address Pine Island Garden Club
This Thursday, Oct. 16, the Pine Island Garden Club, at its monthly meeting beginning at 9 a.m. at the Fishers of Men Lutheran Church, will host Bonnie Potter, president and former Cape Coral City Clerk; Nancy Ruedi, vice president with a background in food services; and Diane Gleason, treasurer and retired CFO, of the Pine Island Food Pantry. They will offer an overview of the mission and operations of this exclusively local organization.
Founded in 1975, the Pine Island Garden Club mission includes the protection and conservation of natural resources, encouraging island beauty and stimulating the study of the fine art of gardening. Its civic duties include the creation and maintenance of the grounds at Philips Park, Museum of the Islands, Bokeelia Post Office, Kiwanis Children’s Park and the butterfly garden at Pine Island Elementary School. It produces the annual Garden Gala, the proceeds from which are utilized to financially support several island benevolent organizations, such as the Beacon of Hope, Calusa Land Trust, CROW and the Pine Island Food Pantry.
