F.I.S.H. to host monthly luncheon with speaker
F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva will hold its next community-wide Friendly Faces Luncheon on Oct. 8 at 11 a.m. at the Sanibel Recreation Center on Sanibel, with a virtual option available.
It will feature Susie Wilson, who has Type III-IV Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). She will share her inspiring life journey and experiences. Wilson’s presentation will highlight her experiences growing up with OI, and she will offer advice on self-advocacy in the medical field.
With more than 30 years of involvement with the OI Foundation, including six years on its board of directors, Wilson brings insights as co-chair of the Tampa OI Support Group and chair of the Bone China Tea Fundraiser. Locally, she is a volunteer at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, and she serves as a vestry member at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church.
“We are truly excited to hear Susie’s story,” Senior Services Director Erika Arnowitz said. “Her strength and resilience are sure to leave a lasting impression on all our guests.”
Prepared by the Sanibel Deli, the lunch will be complimentary for those who attend in-person.
The program will also include giveaways and interactive group games.
Reservations and meal choices are required by Oct. 4.
