Martin Volunteers held the drawing for its 16th annual “Good Times” fund-raiser recently, partnering with Stuart Fine Foods to give away $2,600 in free groceries.

The drawing was held March 15, 2007, at Carrabba's Italian Grill, sponsor of the RSVP recognition luncheons.

The ticket sales this year amounted to more than $5,500. Proceeds go toward volunteer services provided by Martin Volunteers, a program of United Way of Martin County.

Joe Mazzocchi Sr. at Stuart Fine Foods graciously donates the prizes each year, and enthusiastic volunteers sell the tickets, which are just $2 each or 3 for $5.

The winners drawn on March 15, 2007, were as follows:

• First prize -- Hermine Brown, $1,300 in groceries.

• Second prize -- Kim Taylor, $750 in groceries.

• Third prize -- Angie Leone, $550 in groceries.

Martin Volunteers coordinates such large-scale projects as the White Doves Holiday Project, the School Supplies for Students Drive, leadership development for volunteer coordinators at nonprofit organizations, and disaster services. Martin Volunteers also includes the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).

The grand prize winner, Hermine Brown, is a longtime member of the RSVP Singers, a group of volunteers that goes to nursing homes and assisted living facilities to entertain residents every Friday.
