Posted

After the summer’s hiatus, Coastal Friends will hold their monthly luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, at Marsh Landing Country Club, 25655 Marsh Landing Parkway, Ponte Vedra Beach.

The guest speaker will be Jennifer Barker, CEO of First Coast No More Homeless Pets. She will discuss estate planning for pets and provide information on what will happen to your pets if something happens to you.

“The mission of FCNMHP is to make veterinary care affordable and accessible to all as we save lives by keeping dogs and cats in homes and out of shelters, providing low-cost spay-neuter services and delivering a broad range of programs and services,” she said.

Marsh Landing Country Club will serve caesar salad, chicken cordon bleu with mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables with Dijon mustard sauce and chef’s choice for dessert. Open to members as well as the community, the cost to attend this luncheon is $25.

Reservations must be made in advance by contacting the luncheon chairman at bartshar@comcast.net as soon as possible since the deadline for checks to be received is Friday, Sept. 1.
