$5K Grant Benefits Three Encore Programs!
Encore Field Trips, Speakers Bureau and Home Delivered Meals All Benefit From "Fountain Hills Gives"!
Encore for More is pleased to announce the award of a $5K grant to three of our programs: Encore Field Trips, Speakers Bureau and Home Delivered Meals. We feel that these programming goals cover the joint ventures of serving senior community outreach, bus transportation that provides opportunities beyond Fountain Hills' borders, as well as continuing education that proves that learning doesn't stop at 65!
We'd like to thank Rose Gonsoulin, Treasurer and Board Member, and Emily Hemphill, Grant Volunteer, for their excellent work and inclusivity of the grant request.
It's Poinsettia Time Again!
For Only $25 Dollars
Poinsettia Tree Project
Give special recognition
Every year during the holiday season, FHCCA displays a beautiful 14’ poinsettia tree on the Avenue of the Fountains. The tree is made of 250 live plants, each of which are purchased either in honor of a special person or in memory of a loved one who has passed. The tree is unveiled during the Stroll in the Glow event and remains on display through New Year’s Eve.
Poinsettias are $20.00 each for members of I Love Fountain Hills and $25.00 each for non-members. The cost is tax deductible.
Special thanks to Bill Muehlhauser and Skip Ipema for their contribution to this tradition dating back to 1999.
Each year, the graduates of the Fountain Hills Leadership Academy are tasked with carrying out the project under the supervision of the FHLA Poinsettia Committee.
Be a part of this great holiday tradition and recognize someone special or participate in memory of a loved one.
