F.I.S.H. OF SANIBEL-CAPTIVA Frances Tutt

F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva is continuing its community-wide Friendly Faces Luncheon. The next one will be held on Jan. 9 at 11 a.m. at the Sanibel Recreation Center, with a virtual option available.

It will feature resident Frances Tutt. She will share her experience and tips on how to create a thriving vegetable garden on the islands. Tutt will discuss how she is growing healthy and organic food on Sanibel, and Tutt will share information from books, YouTube channels and other resources she uses.

“I admit that I’m on a never-ending learning journey and hope you will find some benefit from hearing what has and has not worked for me over the years,” she said. “I look forward to seeing you in January.”

Tutt will also share her experiences working as a food scientist for McCormick, where she was employed for 30 years in the industrial flavor division. Before retiring as a principal scientist in 2018, she worked with flavor chemists to develop beverages for manufacturers like Anheuser-Busch.

“With so many returning to the islands for season, we hope you will join us at our 2024 Friendly Faces kick-off,” F.I.S.H. Senior Services Director Erika Broyles said. “We’ve scheduled a great line up of speakers for the New Year, and we will continue with our interactive games and giveaways.”

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

Reservations and meal choices are required by Jan. 5.

For more information or to make a reservation, contact Broyles at 239-472-4775. Once registered, Zoom instructions will be provided to those planning to attend virtually.

The Sanibel Recreation Center is at 3880 Sanibel-Captiva Road, Sanibel.
