Islanders, friends and family are invited to the community-wide FISH OF SANCAP Friendly Faces Luncheon, scheduled for Tues., Sept. 10 beginning at 11:00am. The featured guest speaker is Jenifer McBride, Communications Director, Lee County Mosquito Control District.

The luncheon will be held at the Sanibel Recreation Center, 3880 Sanibel-Captiva Road, Sanibel with a virtual option offered.

Lee County Mosquito Control District is the largest mosquito control in the state of Florida due to Lee County being one of the most prolific breeding habitats in the country. Learn about the complex integrated pest management operations, research, and education that help protect our Lee County citizens from mosquito-borne diseases and allows us to live more comfortably year-round in our little slice of Florida paradise.
