Happy July Fourth! May all your celebrations be lit with fellowship and fun!

watch your emails for any future information on a possible Labor Day get-together.

One of our singles, Cynthia James, who grew up in Illinois and made Punta Gorda her permanent
home in 2012, passed away in May. “Cindy” became a member of the First United Methodist
Church in Punta Gorda and was a member of the PGI Singles Club since 2015. She loved her
socials and especially playing and hosting cards at her home. She also loved her family, friends,
and her ice cream. Just talking with her was such a delight as she had stories to tell and made you
laugh the whole time. She was a beautiful person with a warm and pleasant smile and disposition to
go along with that. She will definitely be missed by the Singles Group and especially her card-
playing friends. Cynthia James

interested in joining should pick up an application at the PGICA desk or contact Jean LaMantia at 941-525-4266 or
