Volunteers

A New Jersey native, Patti Foreman splits her time between New Jersey and Florida. She has been volunteering with the Naples Winter Wine Festival for 10 years and has enjoyed participating in a variety of volunteer positions throughout the Festival weekend. In the last 5 years, she’s also volunteered in the months leading up to the Festival which showed her just how much planning and effort goes into the event to create the “WOW” factor for the patrons. In addition to NCEF, Patti also volunteers at NCH and at Bon Jovi’s Food Pantry in Toms River, New Jersey.

When she’s not volunteering, Patti enjoys participating in some sort of daily physical activity whether it be swimming, biking, rebounding or yoga. She also likes to complete daily puzzles and plays bridge three times a week to keep up her mental wellbeing. The top item on her bucket list is traveling to Antarctica, as she has been fortunate enough to travel to all other continents.

Patti’s favorite quote comes from Maya Angelou: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
