President’s Message: Greetings in the New Year!

Steve Bissonnette, President

2025 was a milestone year in many ways and at the same time, an anxiety-producing one for many seniors. Recurring news coverage of potential cuts or interruptions to SNAP benefits, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid left many seniors feeling anxious and uncertain about their future. At VISTE, we saw a significant increase in the number of clients requesting help, especially with supplemental groceries. Amid such uncertainty, it’s more important than ever that VISTE continue as a steady and reliable source of care and hope for local seniors in need. As we kick off this new year, one way you can help ensure that seniors continue to receive VISTE services is by supporting our annual signature fundraising event, VISTEBall!

This unique, indoor, golf-themed event is fun for golfers and NON-golfers alike! No black ties needed… dress comfortably in casual attire.

There’s LOTS to enjoy at VISTEBall, including food, drinks, silent auction items, a wheelbarrow of cheer, and plenty of games and prizes. Whether you’ve been before or this is your first time, you’ll find something new at this year’s VISTEBall!

Get your tickets now for the 21st Annual VISTEBall! Saturday, January 31 at Sun ‘N Fun Expo Campus, in the Skylight Hangar. Tickets are $75/person and can be purchased online at VISTE.org or call (863) 683-8458 for more information. (Please note, this event is for ages 21+) All proceeds benefit Volunteers in Service to the Elderly.

To keep that momentum moving forward, please accept my personal invitation to attend this year’s milestone event. I look forward to seeing YOU there!

With your ongoing support, we look forward to continuing this good work together in the new year ahead, and for generations to come.

Forward!
