F.L.A.G.S. Billboard Stories:

Thanks, Fort Myers

On Feb. 22, the Kiwanis Club of Fort Myers Metro-McGregor hosted the Harlem Ambassadors professional show basketball team for a night of high-flying slam dunks, hilarious comedy, and feel-good family entertainment.

The Harlem Ambassadors would like to extend a special thank you to event organizers Debra Newell and Hannah Belle who planned and promoted the game.

The Hometown Heroes proved to be an energetic and enthusiastic challenging team and we thank all of the players for their good sportsmanship.

The event would not have been possible without the support and generosity of local community sponsors, the Kiwanis Club of Fort Myers Metro-McGregor members, and the event volunteers.

The Harlem Ambassadors thank the community of Fort Myers for its warm hospitality and look forward to returning to Fort Myers in the future!

Higher Education Briefs: Students give back at Rasmussen

By news-press.com • December 28, 2010

Technology and design students at Rasmussen College in Fort Myers are donating their time and expertise to local charities, including the Calusa Bug Chase 5K and Bug Crawl Trail Walk on Jan. 22 at Calusa Nature Center in Fort Myers.

Students contributed a new logo and event T-shirt design to the annual fundraiser hosted by the local Kiwanis chapter to benefit “Bringing Up Grades,” a program designed to provide recognition to students who have improved their academic performance.

“Custom design services cost $100 per hour on average,” said Jennifer Ayotte, coordinator of the technology and design program. “In providing this service pro bono, our students are able to gain experience in the field while also maintaining our commitment of community service.”

Students previously contributed poster designs to the Taste, Tunes & More fundraiser for the Animal Refuge Center.
