SALVATION ARMY RED KETTLE CAMPAIGN IN COLLIER COUNTY November 3, 2010

Myra Daniels will launch the Collier County Red Kettle campaign at a Gala and Auction Dinner on Thursday, November 18 at Naples Sailing and Yacht Club, River Point Drive at 6.00 pm. There will be a Silent and Live Auction including a vacation in Venice, Italy. Tickets for the luncheon are $75.00. The Salvation Army Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Steven Burn will play before at the dinner and there will be dancing to Michael Angelo. Black Tie optional.

This year’s Red Kettle campaign is vital in supporting Collier families and children who are in need. They will receive food at Thanksgiving and at Christmas and children and seniors will receive Christmas gifts. The remaining funds support the emergency social services program run by the Salvation Army in Collier throughout the year. This year alone we have seen an increase of over 100% in food distribution and a 35% increase in new families requesting support for their children over Christmas. Every dollar raised stays in Collier and helps our residents.
