Community Organizations
The people of Florence have always been active and involved with local affairs, and as a result, the organizations in our area are an example of a dedicated and caring community:
Some organizations meet weekly and therefore it shouldn't be difficult to remember when the next meeting is; however, for those organizations that meet less frequently, the next meeting date is shown in colored text. Supply or update your organization's information.
