The Cherrywood Craft Show was a resounding success with more than a score of vendors and hundreds of shoppers. The weather was clear, cool and dry making for an excellent turnout where people found bargains; enjoyed lunch; bought raffle tickets and socialized in the relaxed atmosphere of the clubhouse.

Each individual crafter donated a prize to be raffled off for the benefit of Interfaith Food Bank. Thanks to the generosity of the vendors and shoppers, they will receive $233.

A call for blood donors and a correction of information is this week’s OTOW Happenings.

Life South Blood Mobile
Next month celebrates Labor Day. On this first Monday of September of each year, we always celebrate the gift of our labor —the contributions to the economy and to our own struggles for the American dream.
Times for many this year are even more difficult than usual, but we have a number of ways to contribute to the American dream.

Another record for the Cherrywood Summer Fest was set on Aug. 18. Two hundred and fifty residents came out to enjoy a beautiful Florida evening; a delicious meal and the fantastic entertainment of Kenny Jackson.
Tender and juicy pulled pork sandwiches with beans and potato salad was served up along with lemonade and iced tea. All of the guests were served in a surprisingly fast and orderly fashion which was only made possible by the excellent volunteer staff members. Ice Cream topped off the meal for dessert including Klondike Bars.
