December Lunch Meeting

At our monthly December lunch meeting, we enjoyed hearing from Cauney Bamberg, President/CEO of ROAR, https://www.roarflorida.org/.

ROAR FLORIDA was founded to provide meaningful lifestyle options and housing for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The ROAR FLORIDA community is the culmination of the dreams of the co-founders and the hundreds of volunteers who have helped along the way. There are currently 140+ residents living independently with the help of their fellow residents, families, friends, caregivers, and supporters. Our community is designed to help develop the skills needed for independent living.

ROAR FLORIDA is similar to a retirement community, offering residents, caregivers, and families various social, recreational, educational, and vocational opportunities. Because this is intended to be a lifelong residential community, we strive to support evolving personal care needs as residents age.

We also had the pleasure of providing one of our members, Kelly Casey, with a special recognition of his 42 years in the Kiwanis Club of Winter Haven.
