MAKE A WISH COME TRUE AND A HOLIDAY MERRY
The holidays are the time to take an extra
moment to offer someone a smile or send a greeting, to give a hug or share words of praise. And, as we approach the 12th month of another difficult year, we need the smiles, greetings, hugs, praise — and help — even more. In our annual Wish Book, we present the wishes and needs of some dedicated and deserving organizations in our community. These community groups provide assistance to families and individuals, teach and mentor children, assist the elderly and the less fortunate, all with the goal of making Anna Maria Island a better place to live for all. With the Wish Book, we offer a special way for
you to share the holiday spirit and help others. We present their wishes. Your contribution, however small or grand, is deeply appreciated. Please, take time to peruse our Wish Book and select a gift — or two, or more — to add to your holiday shopping list. A small contribution can make a big difference. And to our generous sponsor advertisers, we offer thanks for making this publication possible. We hope you receive the same return as we have each year from The Wish Book — the joy of giving. Here’s wishing you all the happiest holidays and best wishes for 2022! — The Islander
