This past Saturday the Boca Grande Historical Society hosted its fundraiser, the Boca Bayou Blast, at the Louise duPont Crowninshield Community House.

To the Editor:

As I read about the continuing saga of the swing bridge contracts, I can’t help but  wonder if the Authority is receiving regular and competent advice from those experienced in the public bidding process. I note the reference to advice solicited from Susan Churuti, who, based on my on-line review, seems competent in this area. While the Authority may have had the right to reject all bids in October if the RFP clearly specified it could do so, several actions and decisions reported in the Boca Beacon (my only current source of information) suggest that the Board is not always obtaining legal advice and/or following it.

Please note a change of deadline for the Civil War Memories book. February 2 will now be the last day that articles will be accepted for publication in Civil War Memories.

To the Editor:

The Boca Grande Womanʼs Club Scholarship Committee will begin to review applications in the near future, and want to announced an extended deadline of March 15.
