The Miracle of Friendship:
There is a miracle of friendship that dwells within the heart and you don't know how it happens or where it gets its start. But the happiness it brings you always gives a special lift and you realize the friendship is God's perfect gift.
Purpose:
Friendship Club of Paradise Bay Estates is an organization of women who get together for food and fellowship. We have bake sales and other fund-raising opportunities throughout the winter months. Our goal is to then distribute those funds to worthwhile charitable organizations in our park and community including individual shareholders in need.
