Need Assistance with a House Move or Estate Sale?
Upcoming Sales
July 24 and 25 at 240 West End Drive, Unit 1111
The Isles Girls & Guys Assistance Program, which started over 25 years has been one of PGICA's most successful volunteer programs. Their original goal was, and still is, to provide a service to members by holding estate and moving sales.
The Isles Girls and Guys do it all. All proceeds from the sale are presented to the homeowner who in turn donates 20% to the PGICA. At present, the Isles Girls and Guys have 23 very active members, each member being very proficient in their assigned tasks.
For more information Call Dotty Hodgkins 629-8178 or Sue Conn 505-0014
Food Bank Collections
Faced with this economy, there are many residents in Charlotte County challenged to make ends meet. The PGICA is collecting non perishable food items for the area food banks. If you are fortunate to have the ability to share, we ask you to consider dropping off food items in the large green box located in the lobby of the Civic Association building. You may want to take advantage of the special sales and buy one get one free promotions at your favorite grocery stores in order to save while helping others.

A big thank you to Naomi Gazzola and Ginny Caldwell who recently volunteered to sort through our loaner equipment inventory.
Naomi and Ginny examined all the items to make sure the equipment we loan is in good working order and up-to-date. The unusable and over stocked items were donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. We truly appreciate the willingness of Naomi and Ginny. They recognized a need and stepped up to do the job. Thanks!!
