PUNTA GORDA — Michael Douglas of the Southwest Florida Mopar car club called Charlotte County Community Services recently to see if they could team up to hold a charity event at South County Regional Park.
The answer came immediately. County staffers were hoping to participate in an event to fund scholarships for underprivileged kids to attend the county’s Kids Camp Connection, a summer camp program that serves some 600 kids, said Michael Koenig, community services resources director.
