Sarasota Bay Club recently completed an intergenerational Summer Reading & Art Program for ten girls ages seven and eight, who currently attend Girls Inc. of Sarasota County. The girls were paired with senior volunteers from Sarasota Bay Club and the results were magical! “Friendships formed as the pairs worked together through seven specially chosen books,” said Kathleen Rhem, the Lifestyle Coordinator for Sarasota Bay Club. In addition to the Summer Reading Art Programreading time each week, students and resident volunteers went on to complete art projects based on each of the books. The finished artwork was displayed in an evening gallery show, to which the families of the girls were invited to attend.

This innovative program was made possible by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, Innovative Art Solutions, KAETA and The Campaign for Grade Level Reading which promotes school readiness, combating summer learning loss and preventing chronic absenteeism.

One of our amazing residents was featured on Fox 13 News:

Florence Katz is as bright as the outfits she wears. At age 98, she's still looks great, always dressed to the nine's with makeup and heels! For the last 19 years she's warmed the hearts of everyone she meets while volunteering at the Jewish Family Services Center of Manatee County in Sarasota.

Florence says her goal is to make everyone smile. And she does just that - greeting every person at the senior outreach center. Most of the people at JFSC are homebound and go to the center for counseling, lunch and entertainment. Some of the clients say it's the best meal they've had all week.
