Estero residents who care about preserving the village’s unique character and environmental assets will want to mark their calendars to attend the inaugural celebration for the Estero Forever Foundation. This community organization was recently founded in an effort to mobilize financial resources so that Estero can grow into a highly valued place to live, work, play and visit.

Starting at 6 p.m., the evening will be a simple yet classy affair at the Grandezza clubhouse featuring fine food and drinks, dancing and live music by Billy Dean and Dawn. This event will give residents an opportunity to celebrate the community and learn how the foundation plans to improve and preserve Estero.

Prior to the celebration, there will be a brief program explaining the purpose and goals of the Estero Forever Foundation. Guests will have a chance to donate throughout the evening. Funds will inevitably enrich the lives of each member of the community.
