STUART \u2013 The glittering and festive 2025 Poinsettia Power Luncheon will delight attendees on Tuesday, Dec. 2, and once again raise critical funds to support Meals on Wheels, a vital program of the Council on Aging Martin County.<\/p>\n
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Poinsettia Power is bringing back its favorite elements \u2013glorious food, a spectacular fashion show, an extensive silent auction, and an exciting array of vendors for a Holiday Bazaar. Erin Guy of WPBF 25 News will be the emcee. This year will also feature a Hat Parade.<\/p>\n
Amid all the fun, there is a very serious purpose. Funds raised through the luncheon support the Council on Aging Martin County\u2019s Meals on Wheels program.<\/p>\n
Donna Haines, who has worked on the event for fourteen years, describes why it matters. \u201cMeals on Wheels is not just about the hot food delivered daily, although healthy nutrition for vulnerable seniors is essential. It\u2019s also about the human touch,\u201d Haines said. \u201cIt brings a smile and also a quick check on the senior\u2019s wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Poinsettia Power Luncheon will be held at Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa. \u201cWe\u2019re encouraging people to become Table Ambassadors and fill a table with friends and neighbors,\u201d said long-time Committee Member Marnie McKee. \u201cAnd don\u2019t forget that gentlemen are most welcome to join us!\u201d<\/p>\n
The 2025 Poinsettia Power Luncheon Committee – Chef Chris Baker, Joanna Mangan, Jill Ball, Francesca Morgan, Donna Haines, Marney McKee, and Devon Senical\u2013 urge everyone to buy tickets early. \u201cWe always sell out,\u201d McKee said. \u201cAnd you absolutely don\u2019t want to miss this great holiday tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n
