Cruise for Hunger, Play for Hunger
We participated in the Play for Hunger Cruise for Hunger Charity Event this weekend at Isla Del Sol. This event benefits both the Daystar Life Center and the St. Petersburg Free Clinic.
Daystar was founded in 1982 as a small parish ministry to provide emergency assistance to individuals and families. The mission of Daystar is to alleviate the suffering and hopelessness experienced by members of the community who are economically or physically challenged. Most recipients are living below the federal poverty level.
St. Petersburg Free Clinic is a multi-service, independent, not-for-profit agency providing assistance with food, shelter and health care. The clinic has been caring for the those families and individuals facing short term emergency needs since 1970.
I played in the tennis event on Saturday–Steve sat out because of tennis (or chainsaw) elbow. The tennis event encountered some rain so it ended during the third round. Robert, the club manager, made a huge pot of Brunswick stew for lunch after the round robin.
The Cruise for Hunger Event was held on Sunday after noon after a huge brunch at the club. We met our crew at lunch and then headed out for a 3 hour cruise. There were 9 boats in the flotilla which went up to Tierra Verde and the grand canal.
The event continues on Monday with golf and closes on Tuesday evening with a dinner at the club.
