FISH of Sanibel-Captiva invites the community to its March Friendly Faces Luncheon on Tuesday, March 10, beginning at 11:00 a.m., at the Sanibel Community House, 2173 Periwinkle Way. The monthly luncheon brings neighbors together for good food, conversation, and an opportunity to learn something new.
This month’s luncheon will feature longtime island resident and FISH volunteer Dave Scheiber, who will share his experiences with olive oil—often known as “liquid gold.” Drawing on decades of experience in consumer marketing and more than 20 years with Filippo Berio Olive Oil, Scheiber will explore the history of olive oil, the landscape today, how it’s made, the different types, how to read a label, health properties, storage and handling, and the many ways olive oil fits into everyday cooking. If time allows, he’ll wrap things up with a short, fun quiz.
FISH will be offering lunch platters from Publix for attendees to enjoy during the program.
Guests will also have a chance to win door prizes tied to the day’s topic. About ten winners will receive a selection of Filippo Berio products, including olive oils, pestos, vinegars, glazes, and pasta sauces.
“Friendly Faces is a simple way to bring people together,” said Erika Arnowitz, Senior Services Director at FISH. “It gives neighbors a reason to get out, share a meal, and spend time with one another in a relaxed setting. The conversations, the learning, and the sense of community that builds around the table are what make these lunches so meaningful. We hear again and again how much people value having a place where they feel welcome, included, and connected.”
Advance sign-up is requested. Reservations can be made through the RSVPify platform at https://friendlyfacesmarch2026.rsvpify.com. RSVPs are requested by Fri., Mar. 6th. Alternatively, RSVPs can be confirmed by calling or emailing Erika Arnowitz at erika@fishofsancap.org or 239-472-4775.
The Friendly Faces Luncheon is open to the community, and all are welcome to attend.
