The Treasure Island’s Women’s Club, the Islettes, raised more than 8K to benefit the community.
On March 12 at the Treasure Island Community Center 250 people attended an Islettes fundraising event that brought in more than 8K. This is one of the largest total the Islettes has brought in during one day in its 60-year history. President Mary Cox was delighted and said it is so gratifying to know that 100 percent of the proceeds will help fund many needed projects. Millie Fant, the Chairman, for the Beautification Committee, together with numerous Islettes members worked tirelessly on the luncheon, raffles, silent auction that included generous donations by local businesses and fashion show provided by Macy’s Department store and modeled by Islettes members.
