Second Chance Last Opportunity regrets that we must postpone our author luncheon with Patricia Falvey on Tuesday, January 25, at the Sarasota Yacht Club.
Due to concerns about Covid Ms. Falvey will be unable to attend and we will need to reschedule the luncheon. At the present time, we do not have a date set.
If you would like a re-fund of your donation for this event, please let us know and we will be happy to do so.
Otherwise please keep your reservation, and we will let you know when we re-schedule.
Thank you for your understanding, it is very much appreciated.
SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – A non-profit organization in Newtown is on a mission to empower people in crisis and a community that continually struggles with crime, drugs, domestic violence and unemployment.
Tina Peterman had been selling and doing drugs since she graduated high school, but when Peterman went to prison, she decided enough was enough.
“I was just so tired. I was so tired,” said Peterman. “I’m 55-years old now, so it’s been a long haul, but when I met her, it’s like she cared.”
The person she met was Second Chance, Last Opportunity founder Dr. April Glasco, who Peterman says was the first person to hear her cries for help.
After learning about the hunger that is rapidly growing in our community, an anonymous donor has started a matching-donation campaign to raise funds. The goal is $20,000 to be raised (and matched) in 10 days. These badly needed funds will be used to purchase groceries, personal care items and new-baby needs that we will distribute at our building, 1933 Dr. Martin L. King Jr. Way, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12 noon.
Thank you for spreading love in the form of support for those in need in these challenging times.
