F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva will hold its next community-wide Friendly Faces Luncheon on July 9 at 11 a.m. at the Sanibel Recreation Center on Sanibel, with a virtual option available.

“We are so excited to welcome our guest speakers from the city and expect this luncheon to be very well attended,” F.I.S.H. Senior Services Director Erika Broyles said. “The city of Sanibel’s beach renourishment project was a substantial undertaking generating great interest since Ian. We’re excited to learn how the project was accomplished and what the future holds.”

Prepared by the Sanibel Deli, the lunch will be complimentary for those who attend in-person.
