A family-friendly event aims to bring island neighbors together to reconnect, create and celebrate.<\/p>\n

Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church will host the Love Sanibel Community Gathering on Nov. 2 from noon to 2:30\u202fp.m. at The Community House on Sanibel. Free and open to all, the gathering is the culmination of the summerlong Love Sanibel Back \u2014 the initiative to support island businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s not only the businesses. It\u2019s the nonprofits, the Sanibel school. They all are going to be represented to showcase the spirit of Sanibel,\u201d Director of Communications, Community Engagement and Formation Sue Van Oss said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to connect, for everyone to come together and celebrate Sanibel.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 1 p.m. program will feature a special performance by The Sanibel School\u2019s Seahorse Chorale, along with remarks from Mayor Mike Miller, Vice Mayor Holly Smith and other voices in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd a special video that we put together about the spirit of Sanibel,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

There will be 30 community booths with a variety of activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encouraged all the nonprofits to have their booths be interactive for all ages,\u201d Van Oss said.<\/p>\n

For instance, the Sanibel Public Library is planning on bringing its interactive, life-sized chess set, and the church and Children\u2019s Education Center of the Islands will provide arts and crafts to take part in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have a free photo booth,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Attendees will also enjoy free hot dogs, chips, ice cream and treat bar, and beverages.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the island businesses have provided great door prizes,\u201d Van Oss said, explaining that attendees will receive a ticket upon arrival and the winners will be announced at the event.<\/p>\n

The sponsors for this year\u2019s gathering are A Bit Of Bailey\u2019s, Bank of the Islands, Charitable Foundation of the Islands, city of Sanibel, Pinocchio\u2019s Original Italian Ice Cream, and The Community House.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event would not be possible without their generous support,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The community is encouraged to come out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made this a free event because we want as many people as possible to experience the spirit of Sanibel,\u201d Van Oss said. \u201cOur island has gone through a lot in the past three years. People have struggled. But this is a day to come together and celebrate the Sanibel that we all know and love.\u201d<\/p>\n
