WOOO-HOOO! SO excited for you all!!!
I’m so excited for our community!!!
I’m so excited for this. I moved here with my daughter Ava from Boston. I was feeling a displaced not knowing anyone then saw you were opening in Fort Myers. I’m really looking forward to meet people and Ava getting some friends ❤️
Hi Denise! We’re looking forward to meeting you and Ava too! In fact, a few families will be meeting to take pictures for a campaign this Saturday morning…email us at fortmyers@gigisplayhouse.org if you’d like to come meet some people, hang out a bit, and we’ll tell you the details!
So, so exciting. Grateful for everyone’s commitment and hard work. So many lives will be touched.
Do you know how hard it is to find Gigi’s at night in the rain? I needed to pick up my 37 year old daughter,Chrissy,whom her dad dropped off for Fantastic Friends. The GPS was taking me in circles. I was determined to get there before it closed. And that is what my daughter has taught me…determination, in all her life. So I looked at the gps screen under Favorites and made it there in time. Funny how favorites fits her view of Gigi’s! (Mine too). Pat Billante
Hi Pat! We are SO glad that Chrissy is excited about GiGi’s and had a great time at Fantastic Friends!! Sorry about the GPS trouble, we’ll have to work on that…but LOVE that it was your favorites list to the rescue. Hope to see you all again soon!
