WINK Listens wraps up in South Fort Myers

FORT MYERS, Fla. (WINK)—WINK Listens came to Florida Southwestern State College in Lee County to connect with the community and hear directly from residents.

The event was held at Florida Southwestern State College in South Fort Myers campus, located off Summerlin Road and Cypress Lake Drive.

From wagging tails to little feet to big community conversations, WINK Listens brings everyone to the table to share what matters most. That could be healthcare access and mobility challenges to neighborhood safety and local funding concerns—nothing is off limits.

"I'm here because I want to discuss the water bill and sewage increase from the city," Robert Hoover said.

"We are really very concerned about Florida's only native tortoise species," one woman mentioned.

"Thank you for listening to me and giving me the opportunity to speak because so many times we don't," Cynthia added.

One proud WINK Weather Watcher stopped by to share that she loves seeing her photos on air. Mary Bartoshuk came to say hello to WINK and thank everyone in the WINK Weather Watchers for displaying her pictures on TV.

"It shows how beautiful LaBelle is and how lucky we are to have this beautiful river, and I love LaBelle, and I'm just so happy you all show our pictures," Bartoshuk explained.
