What does the anacronym WDLT stand for? WOMEN DISCOVERING LOCAL TREASURES. Your hometown is loaded with surprising “treasures” that you can discover. It doesn’t matter if you have lived in this area for four months or forty-four years, there’s always something new to learn or see.

Starting in May, the Federation will offer a NEW initiative which will be participant driven. This is an opportunity to think about places or people who you consider treasures. It’s an opportunity to make your local dreams come true. All ideas are welcome.

For the first get together, women are invited to join in an adventure to discover the Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers. This will be the first of, hopefully, many local adventures.

On Tuesday, May 28th at 1:00 P.M. Jewish women from the community are invited to meet at the Alliance for the Arts. There you will discover the treasures found at this, nearly 50 years old, organization. Haley Volcy, Outreach and Membership Coordinator, will tell us the story about the Alliance..

Carolyn Gora, board member of both the Alliance and the Federation, will act as docent to lead you through the main gallery’s show, City of Fort Myers Artists’ Grants Show. In addition, the exhibit in the theater gallery will be “Birds of Paradise from Paradise” by Carolyn. She will give you a unique tour of her own show.
