FISH of SanCap will welcome longtime island resident and former Lighthouse Café owner Michael Billheimer as the guest speaker for its December Friendly Faces luncheon. The gathering will take place Tuesday, Dec. 8, beginning at 11:00 a.m. at Sanibel Community Church, 1740 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel. Lunch is provided, and reservations are requested by Dec. 4 at https://friendlyfacesdec2026.rsvpify.com.
Billheimer will share stories about growing up on Sanibel, his family’s long history on the island and his 32 years running one of Sanibel’s most popular restaurants. His connection to FISH is personal. His mother, Barbara Billheimer, was among the organization’s earliest volunteers, working with FISH co-founder Abe Lerner when the organization was a small group of neighbors checking on older residents and providing rides to medical appointments, pharmacies and other errands.
