ABWA Meeting: Documents Every Woman Needs he Sanibel-Captiva Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) invites members and guests to the monthly meeting on Tuesday, TNovember 8. The meeting will be held at The Community House. Networking begins at 5:30 p.m., and the dinner/meeting begins at 6 p.m. Karen Storjohann and Judy Workman will be guest speakers.

She retired in 1999 after 33 years of teaching in the Brentwood School District. Storjohann holds a bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s degree in education from Adelphi University. A lifelong interest in politics led her to be a committee woman and zone leader in Islip Township, and on Sanibel she has served as a board member of the Democratic Club of the Islands. Additionally, she actively follows Sanibel city government, attending planning commission and city council meetings. Storjohann serves as president of the Bright Water Homeowners Association.

She is a current member and past president of the Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva, has served as the Chancellor of Saint Michaels and All Angels Episcopal Church, and has served as a past board member of many island organizations. These women bring a comprehensive program on Documents Every Woman Needs. While serving on the Serving Women on the Island (SWOTI) service team of the Zonta Club, they helped organize several other presenters: David Berger, a retired physician, and Rev. Cynthia Brasher, chaplin with the Lee Memorial Health System, who held a successful workshop at the Sanibel Library earlier this year. This program is designed for all women, to educate them on the documents they need and show them how to gather and organize essential paperwork and inform appropriate family members or care providers as to where those important documents are. Attendees will receive a handout listing the necessary documents and an emergency information form. To secure a reservation to be part of this evening, RSVP to Gayle DeHaan-Garland ([email protected]) or call 565-7872 by November 4. The cost of the dinner is $22.

Sanibel Sea School representatives at the event

Vikki Spruill of Ocean Conservancy by Andrew Stansell he Center for Environmental and Sustainability Education held Tits sixth annual Terry Tempest Williams Student Dialogue entitled Ocean Conservation and Sustainability at Florida Gulf Coast University on October 27. Expert panelists Vikki Spruill and Shelia Bowman sparked passionate and intellectual dialogue among students and attendees by drawing attention to the state of our ocean resources. Spruill is with Ocean Conservancy based in Washington D.C., a long- time partner of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation in its annual International Coastal Cleanup. Bowman is with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program in California. They explored the complexity of ocean conservation, seafood sustainability, and addressed the relationship between human activities and the health of our oceans. They called on students, campus, and community leaders to take action in restoring and protecting our ocean resources, urging the audience to “educate themselves” and to “do something” to initiate the social shift to sustainability. The event welcomed 17 local con servation groups and campus organizations for a networking session before the dialogue, including representatives from the Sanibel Sea School, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Island Mojito!

Sparkling and festive holiday trees, wreaths, and garlands will be featured at the clubhouse in a silent auction, raising important philanthropic support for CROW. The premier event sponsor is The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company. “We are proud to again be the sponsor for this holiday event to benefit CROW,” said Sanibel Captiva Trust Company President Terry Igo. “CROW is part of the fabric of our community and we support their efforts to save our wildlife neighbors. By helping CROW, we also hope to help preserve the special qualities that make these islands such a unique place to live and work.” CROW board member Daniel Moore-Thompson, chair of the event, has been busy organizing a talented group of designers for this tremendous evening. “The festival will showcase some of the most amazing talent this island has to offer. It’s a unique way to support CROW and take home some creative artwork handmade by local artists and residents.” This popular island event helps initiate the holiday season on the islands with Luminary on Friday and Saturday, and The Giving Tree Festival on Sunday. The Giving Tree offers guests the opportunity to donate to crucial needs for the hospital including food for patients, intern and student programs, patient rescue and rehabilitation, and public education. “The culinary delights of The Sanctuary chefs, delightful music by Johnny Ray, and seeing so many island friends make for the perfect evening while we support the mission of CROW,” said John Schubert, CROW President. Invitations to this year’s event will be in the mail soon. For more information, call CROW Executive Director Steve Greenstein at 395-0031. Festivity, lights and holiday spirit abound at the 2009 Giving Tree event at The Sanctuary
