A little bit of wine and go-karts?

Last night, Take Stock doubled up on South and North county events!

Stephanie and I headed out to Livingston's Amusement Center for our Mentor & Mentee Mixer. 

The evening started with some fun "get-to-know-you" games that quickly caused an abundance of laughter between the students and mentors. After the students received their game cards - they were off! The boys ran right to the Go-Kart line and had a blast competing against their mentors. I had the privilege of attempting DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) with Le'Asia McNeal. 

During our raffle drawing we gave away a $50 gift certificate to A. Parker's Books! Thank you A. Parker's Books for instilling the need to read in our youth.

I loved seeing the interaction between the mentors and mentees. We are so thankful for our mentors! Stay tuned for our next event. :) 

Down in Venice, Lisa and Candice made their way to La Dolce Vita. This fabulous wine bar was kind enough to host a wine tasting for TSIC supporters. South Sarasota is often a place we neglect so it was great to have a presence there. Thank you to our Venice crew! We will see you all again soon.
