Hors d 'Oeuvres, friendship, cash bar and a guest speaker or an informal discussion on a special topic.
In May, our featured speaker will be Christine Carey, Valerie's House, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. She is the Program and Outreach coordinator for Charlotte County and will tell us about that organization and volunteer opportunities for our members.
Valerie's House opened its doors in January 2016. Among their services, they provide open-ended peer support groups and activities for children to heal after a significant loss in their life. Valerie's House is not a formal counseling center. It is a community and a platform for individuals to come together, share, and mentor each other through their grief. There is nothing like it in Southwest Florida — Valerie's House was the first organization between Tampa and Miami focused on supporting grieving children on an ongoing basis.
Our Mixers are open to the public. Bring a friend!
No reservation required, pay at the door.

Conservative Leaders Rally Around Rick Scott’s "11-Point Plan to Rescue America"
Eighty-eight conservative leaders from the Conservative Action Project signed a memo supporting Scott’s plan titled Conservatives Applaud Sen. Rick Scott’s Plan to Rescue America.
The memo said:
Politicians should tell voters what they are for, what they plan to do, and then they have to do it. This is the clarity – and the accountability – that voters want to see from their elected leaders. Conservatives should be talking about our ideas as much, if not more, than we talk about Democratic missteps and overreach. While not everyone will agree with every parameter of Sen. Scott’s agenda, he should be applauded for his willingness to step up to the plate and to lead. More elected leaders should be following his example.
