I’m very pleased to announce that StoreRight Self Storage in Lecanto has partnered with Cayla’s Coats. Cayla’s Coats is a wonderful local organization! They provide coats for children in need, specifically in Citrus County. The charitable organization is run by Jessica Barnes, in honor of her daughter Cayla. The volunteers with Cayla’s Coats want to honor Cayla Barnes by helping local children. With the unseasonably cold weather that Citrus County has been experiencing lately, what better time to help out the local kids who need warm clothes? I am very excited to help out this most worthy cause!
Please check out Cayla’s Coats Facebook page for information on drop off locations for the coats, and also for information on their upcoming events. They are planning a big Casino Night fundraiser soon, which will be held at Tuscany on the Meadows. That will be a fun night for sure, and I’m going to get my ticket as soon as I can, because they’re expecting a big crowd, and it might sell out! I hope it does! I hope our community continues to be so generous to those in need.
Speaking of those in need, Citrus County recently had several house fires, and again, our community has rallied! Last Saturday, I attended a fundraiser at Manatee Lanes Bowling Alley in Crystal River. Manatee Lanes stepped right up to the plate (oops! that’s a baseball analogy, I guess I should use a bowling analogy!)….but I can’t think of one, I guess cause I’m not a bowler. How about this? Manatee Lanes threw a strike! I know….kind of lame! So much for my sports analogies!
Anyway, Manatee Lanes wasted no time in setting up a fundraiser to help out one of the families affected by the house fires. I’m not sure exactly what the total amount raised was, but while I was at the fundraiser, the monetary amount was already significant, as well as the donations of clothes, toiletries and household goods. Just another example of how giving the folks are, here in Citrus County.
I have lived in 4 states so far, and I have to say, I’ve never seen such a level of generosity anywhere else. I feel privileged to live in such a caring community. StoreRight Self Storage in Lecanto is proud to be able to help out our local kids and families! Call me at 352-527-9777 if you have any questions about Cayla’s Coats, or if I can help you with any of your storage needs, for your home or business.
