The SunShine Singles had a great December meeting as it was a potluck with a large food selection, a gift exchange, and another record number of attendees. We enjoyed the holidays by attending the “Lite Bites” Christmas Eve at the Eagle’s Landing and an open-house Christmas Day at the home of Donna Milbee. The party goers brought food, played games, watched football on TV, and drank apple pie cider (mixed with Amaretto) made by Donna. Many members cheered out 2025 and welcomed in 2026 at the New Year’s Eve Party at the Eagle’s Landing. Mike Bollea was the emcee of the event and kept the music lively as people ate and then got out onto the dance floor. More than 20 members of our group enjoyed this event. Another group from the SunShine Singles went to the Japanese Kumo Restaurant for Hibachi. The group enjoyed the show of having the chef prepare their meal at the table and the food was delicious.
The very next day a group from our SunShine Singles played Trivia at Eagle’s Landing and came in third. Sandy Bourbeau, our contact person, who has played consistently for a long time, encourages more members to join the group. There were six playing that Thursday night. She has said it would be good to have more regulars as on any given Thursday night they may need substitutes.
The following Saturday night some members went to the Eagle’s Landing to listen to Tina Solomon. The first movie outing this year was to see “Song Sung Blue.” Many other events will be enjoyed, including the Rod Stewart Tribute and The Comedy Night with R.C. Smith at Eagle’s Landing, the Lee County Community Band playing at the Mariners High School in Cape Coral, and Line Dancing lessons on Friday afternoons and Sunday Nights at Eagle’s Landing. There is often a table of SunShine Singles when there is musical entertainment at Eagle’s Landing. The group enjoyed the stylings of: Paul Larson, The Bandstand (favorites), Mike Glean, Jonny Puma, Sheldon Upchurch, Russ Mattson, and Bill Pence. Now that the weather is cooler, we hope to do a group tour to see the Manatees.
