Sanibel & Captiva New Year Resolutions & Goals

Sanibel City Manager Judie Zimomra: “To work harder towards our goal of maintaining Sanibel as a great community where we each can live the Sanibel vision. Resolution: To attend 363 fitness classes at the Sanibel Recreation Center (we are closed Christmas & Thanksgiving Days)”

Salli Kirkland, Billy’s Bikes: “My New Years goal this year is to do a better job of thanking people. We live in such a giving community, with volunteers, donors, friendly merchants, helpful neighbors…I forget sometimes to acknowledge all those gifts bestowed on myself, my family and our community. In 2010 I will be looking for better ways to say thank you, and also ways to better thank God for my good fortune and good health.”

Barb Harrington, RLR: “My resolution is to smile and stay as happy as possible. Happiness creates a positive energy that attracts good things and good people. It enables you to help others.”

Attonery Robert Monk: “Teach someone to fish.”

Sandy Ramset, SanCap One Source Reality: ”I resolve to not make any more Resolutions, which I generally don’t keep anyway.”
Every New Year’s eve I stay up to welcome in the New Year but, this year I’m gonna stay up just to make sure that 2009 is gone for good…Bring on 2010!!! Here’s hoping all of my fellow Islanders from here and far have a happy, healthy and safe New Year and wishing you the best of everything for 2010!
