PROGRAM: Michelle Holbrook, Chandler’s Hope Clothes Closet: A Legacy of Love and Healing
Founded in December 2023, Chandler’s Hope Clothes Closet was born from profound loss and a powerful desire to bring healing and dignity to others. It was established by Michele Holbrook and Colleen Perry, two mothers united in grief after the tragic passing of their children, Chandler Cook and Rachel Perry, both lost to addiction.
What began as a simple act of compassion - handing out Gatorade to those in need - quickly evolved into something greater. Michele and Colleen saw the overwhelming need for basic necessities among people facing homelessness, addiction, and hardship. From this awareness came a vision: a mobile clothes closet offering not just clothing, but hope, dignity, and a human connection.
With every shirt, coat, or pair of shoes shared, Chandler’s Hope honors the memory of Chandler and Rachel. It stands as a tribute to their lives and a symbol of the resilience and compassion of their mothers. Today, the mobile closet travels through communities, providing clothing and comfort to those who need it most—reminding each person they are seen, valued, and not alone.
Chandler’s Hope Clothes Closet is more than a mission—it’s a movement of love, rooted in pain but blossoming in purpose.
Wines of the World Redux
There will be a special raffle at the July Luncheon. Wines were generously donated by many members as part of the Royal Tea fundraiser for Chandler’s Hope Wines of the World basket. They were leftovers! And we all love leftovers! All of these will be raffled off as a set a the luncheon. Bring extra cash so you can be the lucky winner! This is a continuing project with our Philanthropy Committee and will benefit Chandler’s Hope to benefit their Blessing Bags Project.

PROGRAM BY Amelia Island Whale Ambassadors
Presented by Theresa Hartz, an Amelia Island Whale Ambassadors, who will speak to us about Right Whales which migrate to Amelia Island every winter to give birth and nurture their calves. The AI Whale Ambassadors' goal is to introduce and educate Amelia Islanders about the Right Whale, which are an endangered species. Even though the North Atlantic Right Whale is bigger than a school bus, they are very difficult to see when boating. So, like the turtles, they are an important part of our island culture.
Theresa will discuss the whales, how they get to Amelian island every year and why; why they are endangered; and the Amelia Island Whale Festival and other events that take place each year.
Right Whale Festival
November 2-3, 2024
Main Beach Park, Amelia Island
