F.I.S.H. to host monthly luncheon with speaker
F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva is continuing its community-wide Friendly Faces Luncheon. The next one will be held on Feb. 13 at 11 a.m. at the Sanibel Recreation Center, with a virtual option available.
It will feature Dr. Peter Blaze Corcoran, professor emeritus of Environmental Studies and Environmental Education at Florida Gulf Coast University. In his illustrated talk, he will share Frances Perkins’ life story, her faith-based activist journey and her legacy. She was the first woman in history to serve as a Cabinet Secretary. Active with the Frances Perkins Center, Corcoran will also provide updates on the Frances Perkins Center in Newcastle, Maine, and its work there and across the nation.
Corcoran has been a faculty member at College of the Atlantic, Swarthmore College and Bates College. He has held appointments as a visiting professor at universities in Australia, the Netherlands, Fiji, Malaysia and Kenya, and Corcoran has long served as a research fellow at the Earth Charter Center for Education for Sustainable Development at the University for Peace in San José, Costa Rica.
“We’re excited to continue our 2024 event with Dr. Peter Blaze Corcoran,” F.I.S.H. Senior Services Director Erika Broyles said. “His presentation is sure to interest many, and we hope you’ll join us.”
Prepared by the Sanibel Deli, the lunch will be complimentary for those who attend in-person.
Reservations and meal choices are required by Feb. 9.
