On behalf of the Florida Council of Catholic Women, Sheila Hopkins, FCCW Province Director Elect; Sue Steverson, PTDCCW Secretary and Dede Daly traveled to St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, Panama City Nov. 27. A check for $9,000 was presented to Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida for hurricane relief due to the generosity of members who donated a portion or all of their FCCW Conference fees for this effort and others who made additional donations. A tour of the damaged parish property and sharing of the details to serve the huge numbers in need (about 3,000 per day in the beginning) was enlightening. Tallahassee was spared from what proved to be an incredibly horrific storm as was evident driving to and from Panama City. Thanks to all of you who have donated money and goods, worked on site and prayed for those affected. A one night 50th celebration banquet to replace the full conference is scheduled February 8, 2019 at the Sheraton Orlando North in Maitland. ---Sheila Hopkins
