Hello all, I hope the end of 2022 found you healthy and well. I am starting a long stressful time in life as I will be getting both knees replaced, the first set for Feb. 17 and eight weeks later, the second knee.

In 2023 we hope to have a few fundraising events, these are still in the talking stage as we know many of our supporters are still in recovery mode. We are monitoring the situation and will respond as the ability changes.

This time of year brings a lot of events to the area — the recent Cracker Day Rodeo at the Lee County Posse Arena, Swamp Buggy Races in Collier County, this month’s Swamp Cabbage Festival in LaBelle, and Edison Light Parade and Baby Parade and The Shell Factory events every weekend through February and March. There’s so much more, so please check out all you can do.

We will have our annual awards event on March 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the North Fort Myers Rec Center.

At this event we give out awards to residents of North Fort Myers, including the Tom Cronin Award, Cheryl Diamond, and Ron Hoover Awards. Look at NFMCivic.com for descriptions of awards.

• Capt. Joe More – Tom Cronin Award

• Deana Campbell – Cheryl Diamond Award

• Barbara (Bobbie) Dewey – Ron Hoover Award

Please come and join us.

Our next meeting is March 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the North Fort Myers Recreation Center, 2000 North Recreation Way. NFMNL
