Part of the golf cart parade at the Captiva Holiday Village Captiva Holiday Village Meeting submitted by Denice Beggs efore we close the book on 2011, we believe that it is important to Bhave a gathering of all Captivans to discuss this new and evolving holiday initiative. How do we feel about Captiva Holiday Village? What events do we like? What changes would we like to make? What improvements might we suggest? What comments might we offer? What future do we see? The platform on which a community event is based is the community itself. Without the enthusiastic support and involvement of the entire Captiva com- munity, Captiva Holiday Village cannot thrive. The future of Captiva Holiday Village not only takes a “village,” it takes an energized and enthusiastic village. Please join us on Monday, January 23 at 1 p.m. in the Wakefield Room at ‘Tween Waters Inn to cheer on the New Year and Captiva lsland.

In addition, the Kiwanis Club of Sanibel-Captiva has donated funds to purchase helmets so that each child receiving a bike also gets a helmet. Anyone with a bike they don’t need any more, used or new, is encouraged to par- ticipate. Even older bikes are welcome if they are still operational. Children’s bikes are a particular focus of the collection drive, although any type of bike is welcome. Coordinators for the Sanibel effort are: Patti Sousa for the Sanibel Bicycle Club; Billy Kirkland for Billy’s Rentals; and Annie Nachtsheim for Soon Come. For more information call Annie Nachstheim at 395-8700. The collection site is Billy’s Bike Shop at 1509 Periwinkle Way (the north side of Periwinkle across from Billy’s Rentals). If you don’t have a way to get your bike there, call to arrange for a pick-up. Collection of bikes will continue until Friday, February 17. If you don’t have a bike but would still like to help, cash donations are welcome to help offset the cost of repair parts and replacement tires. Distribution of the bicycles in Immokalee is managed by Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA), a non-sectarian, non-profit group affiliated with United Way, which coordinates distribution through numerous other agencies in Immokalee.

Sanibel Bicycle Club volunteers Norm and Helen Flemington bring an old bike back to life Bike Collection Drive Returns f you missed last year’s Sanibel Bicycle Collection Drive, you have another oppor- tunity to get rid of that old bicycle that’s been cluttering up your garage. That Ibike you no longer need can soon be on its way to an grateful new owner in the Immokalee farm worker community. The collection drive is in its 5th year and so far has delivered 500 bikes to children and families in Immokalee. The program is a classic example of how one person’s unwanted item can be turned into someone else’s treasure. Located only 50 miles from Sanibel, Immokalee is one of the poorest areas in the country, and living conditions are difficult for many familie. The recession has hit the Immokalee farm community especially hard. As a result, there are many needs, from clothing to basic household goods. Prominent among the items in need are bicycles, which residents use for basic transportation to work, school and shopping. Several local organizations participate in conducting the bike collection drive. The Sanibel Bicycle Club and Billy’s Rentals provide volunteers for collection, cleaning, repair and transport of the bikes; Soon Come Contract Hauling coordinates pick ups and cash donations; and Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ, provides Jake Mann with Capt.

Now in 2nd grade, she was diagnosed with leukemia in December of 2010. According to her mom, Michelle, she is now in the maintenance phase of her 2.5-year treatment program. “Her first six months of treatment were the hardest, but she always handled everything with a smile. If you met her, you wouldn’t know she was battling cancer except for having shorter hair!” The Ramseys considered moving north, to a cancer treatment center, before meet- ing Dr. Emad Salman of The Children’s Hospital. “We didn’t know what we had in our own back yard,” Michelle said. “The facility is phenomenal. The nurses, the phy- sicians, they are so knowledgeable and they treat you so well. They’ve made us feel comfortable the whole way through and it’s a scary ride.” The doctors and nurses at The Children’s Hospital have become heroes to Liv. “They’ve done so much for me and they’ve helped me a lot. I don’t have to worry. I know that I’m going to be fine,” she said. Olivia is giving back something of her own as well. She has founded Olivia’s Wagon of Wonder.
