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. The information on this page is always the latest that an organization has provided to us, but not necessarily 100% correct. When organizations change officers they do not always provide updated information. Supply or update your organization's information.
