Sarasota News Leader November 30, 2012 Page 81 Siesta Seen FOR A GOOD CAUSE Nine-year-old Abby Ivey, daughter of my colleague Trish Ivey and her husband, David Ivey — and granddaughter of longtime Pelican Press editor Anne Johnson — decided earlier this month to do something wonderful for someone else. Having heard about the nonprofit organization Locks of Love, which provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term hair loss as a result of medical treatments, Abby went to Sassy Hair on Siesta Key to get 10 inches of her long blonde hair cut off. Abby Ivey poses with her long locks before getting them cut for charity. Contributed photo Stylist Julie handled the honors. Trish said all that remained was for her to send the tresses to Locks of Love. Abby's gesture should inspire all of us to think about less fortunate people, especially at this time of year. SKVA MEETING Not only will the SKA meet next week, but the Village Association also will have its regular meeting — at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4, at the Daiquiri Deck Raw Bar, 5250 Ocean Blvd. % Abby Ivey and Julie at Sassy Hair on Siesta Key show off Abby's shorter hairstyle.
