Pine Island FISH says thanks for support of Back to School Basket Brigade
To the editor:
Pine Island FISH would like to send our heartfelt thanks to all the people who supported our Back to School Basket Brigade.
Greater Pine Islanders once again stepped up to the plate and came through with a homer!!
122 children from the island now have new clothes and a pair of shoes to return to school.
We would also like to say a special thanks to the following people:
The Pine Island United Methodist Church for hosting the Basket Brigade; the Matlacha Hookers, especially Lori Tidwell, for adopting so many children along with the American Legion Auxiliary, Carolyn Ryzanych especially; Kathy Jennings Real Estate for supplying the bounce houses; Seth Alper, P.A., for the hamburgers; Armando Perez and Carolyn Ryzanych for bilingual assistance; and all the PI FISH volunteers for helping make the Basket Brigade run so smoothly.
We are now looking forward to gearing up for the Christmas Basket Brigade so stay tuned!!
Pine Island FISH staff
