Welcome!
Association events are open to everyone.
Become a member no matter where you live.

🌟 Welcome to the best Civic Association in Charlotte County, where the magic happens, and events are an invitation to unforgettable moments! 🌟

🎉 We're not just hosting gatherings; we're creating opportunities to bring people together. One member said that our events are just like those that she experienced growing up in the mid-west.

🍹 Our leaders want to ensure that food is made from scratch and that events have a "sizzle" element -- every event includes dinner but also some form of social activity, like trivia contests, bingo, or guest speaker.

💃 Our events are well-attended. Please RSVP if you plan to come so that we make sure we have enough food.

👫 Connect in Style: We are making a big push into social media: Facebook, a website that works on your mobile device, texts, and emails.

🌈 Our events are the perfect backdrop for creating friendships, connections, and memories that will warm your heart for years to come. 🚀🎊
