Better Together, a nonprofit based in Southwest Florida that unites churches, employers, and neighbors to build a volunteer-powered safety net to support Florida families in need, will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with a luncheon on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at 11 a.m. at Summit Church, University Campus, in Fort Myers.

Tim Tebow, former professional athlete and chairman of the Tim Tebow Foundation (TTF), will speak at the luncheon. TTF strives to fight for the Most Vulnerable People in the world – the MVP – through its work in four main focuses: 1) anti-human trafficking and child exploitation, 2) orphan care and prevention, 3) profound medical needs, and 4) special needs ministry.

Better Together will mark this anniversary milestone by reflecting on 10 years of impact and the positive outcomes created for families across Florida. Nearly 100,000 individuals have been strengthened through their programs, and more than 12,000 children have been prevented from entering the foster care system.

Those interested in attending can RSVP at bettertogether10years.rsvpify.com.

    Introduction to Snowy Egrets
    Dr. Jerry Jackson
    With its all-white plumage, black bill, black legs, and bright yellow face and feet, the Snowy Egret is a stunning and easily recognized bird – one that I often refer to as the “bird with the golden slippers.”So why does the Snowy Egret have yellow feet? Perhaps to keep it from stabbing its own feet as it searches for the small creatures it eats. The intensity of the yellow on both its face and its feet becomes brightest during the breeding season, thus it probably also plays a role in courtship – perhaps serving as an indicator of the health of the bird.
