As the holidays approach, most people think about spending time with family and opening gifts but for others, the holidays can be lonely. This year the Treasure Islettes decided to give monetary contributions to the non-profit organization Be A Santa to A Senior. A national charity that makes the season happier for and helps provide much-needed items to homebound, financially challenged, lonely seniors in Pinellas county. Additionally, 24 residents at the Florida Sherriff’s Youth Ranch and Villas were given gift certificates to make their Christmas brighter.
Through their extensive fund raising efforts and volunteer service hours, the Treasure Islettes have supported their community and other charitable organizations since their inception in 1955. Fundraising projects include weekly Thursday night Bingo. Please join the Islettes Thursday evenings for games. Early bird games begin at 6:45 pm and regular games at 7:45 pm. They have a great snack bar, free coffee and cash prizes – so come and spend an evening with the Islettes and support your community. The games are held at the Treasure Island Community Center located behind Walgreens. For more information about the Bingo games please contact, Marian Cox at 727512-9102.
The Treasure Islettes meet on the fourth Monday evening of each month from September to May at the Treasure Island Community Center. More information about membership can be obtained by calling Marian Alton at 360-0164.
