  We welcome volunteers to help organize and implement the Silver Santas program. If you're interested in volunteering, please attend a monthly meeting of the Silver Santas Committee. Our meetings are in-person, which is preferred, but if you cannot attend, we offer a virtual option with Zoom video.

  Get ready for one of the most fun and festive events of the year! We invite you to join us for an evening filled with holiday cheer and the chance to connect with fellow BLS Pinellas Chapter members. Please RSVP to let us know if you will be attending so we may better plan the arrangements.

  Dress code or lack of one is business casual, but with a holiday twist! Think 'business on the bottom, party on the top' – or vice versa! Feel free to jazz things up with cocktail attire, jingle bells, twinkling lights, or even a fun holiday-themed t-shirt. And for those brave souls willing to battle the Florida heat, dust off that ugly sweater and show off your holiday spirit! Let's make this a festive and memorable occasion!
  

  But that’s not all! We’ll be giving away some exciting door prizes, and we encourage you to bring your own to share, adding to the festive spirit of the evening.
