Fort Myers Women's Community Club reports on Holiday House move and children's literacy theme
Summary
Amanda Hite reported the Fort Myers Women's Community Club's Holiday House — a tradition that began in 1955 — moved to 1st Street last year, is now free to downtown visitors, and will use a children's literacy theme this season; the group thanked CRA support and volunteers.
Amanda Hite, the immediate past president of the Fort Myers Women's Community Club, presented the group's annual report as a walk-on item required by a special event grant agreement. Hite told the board Holiday House began in 1955, that last year the event moved to 1st Street and that the club's volunteers provide time and personal donations to produce the display.
Hite described the event as free to families and said this year’s theme is children's literacy: "Holiday House began in 1955" and "The theme this year is, children's literacy." She named Jeannie Dozier Bartlett as the current club president and Angela Servio as the holiday-house chair and thanked the CRA for continued support. Board members and staff thanked the club for its community placemaking and outreach.
