OOA organizes Sanibel vacation for Air Force mom
Operation Open Arms has provided Air Force Master Sgt. Lisa Weekley with a special Sanibel vacation. A couple weeks ago, North Fort Myers resident Sandy Anderson contacted Capt. John “Giddyup” Bunch, a local fishing guide and the founder of Operation Open Arms. Operation Open Arms, which began in 2005, offers Southwest Florida businesses, associations and individuals an opportunity to provide a variety of services — vacations, weddings and everything in between — to United States service personnel on leave from an overseas deployment. “There was an article that caught my eye about Operation Open Arms doing a wedding on Sanibel,” Anderson said. “I went to the website to see what they were about, who they were and what was available and I emailed Capt. Bunch about my daughter Lisa coming home from the desert and he immediately suggested all of these things that we could do.” Weekley, who officially went on leave Aug. 3, immediately made a phone call to Bunch.
