01.01.2020 The PIE Annual GOLF CART PARADE!
What a huge turnout we had for the New Year's Day Golf Cart Parade! Seems like each year it gets bigger and better.
Our thanks to Rose and the Social committee volunteers for organizing the event, Craig and company for setting up and striking down, our fabulous Judges (Monica, Jason, Scott and Brent!) AND our terrific M.C. Rat. And of course, a BIG shout-out to Wayne and Cassie for hosting the hot dog stand and the wonderful team of grill cooks and mixologists. A good time was had by all!

11.23.2019 The PIE Community YARRRD Sale
Our thanks to everyone who helped with the YARRRD Sale! This was our first try and the participation by sellers was fantastic, including donations to the PIE table, Next year we will be looking for ways to improve the event and increase attendance. That being said, it was a great success. It was a beautiful day and we had 14 rummage vendors. Shay's BBQ menu included pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ brisket, BBQ chix and an enormous "Que" dog covered in pulled pork. Habitat for Humanity sent their large truck which left the Island over 1/2 full of treasures and folks were able to clean out their closets with ease. A special thanks to Ashton Boyer who rough-mowed the area, and Craig Baresel who did the finish-mowing and weed eating. He also hauled all the tables and chairs both to set up and break down and picked up large pieces of furniture which were donated to PIE for resale. Thanks to Rose and the Social committee for coordination, Meryl Schaffer for her posters and e-mail notifications and Heather Stout for the lovely banner.

01.20.2019 B.I.C.I Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony & Garden Party
On Sunday January 20th, the Board of Directors of the Bocilla Islands Conservancy held a ribbon-cutting for a newly acquired conservation easement at 160 Gasparilla way. The interactive vision plan for this area was presented to those attending. The plan includes natural paths meandering throughout the property. Native vegetation will be highlighted as well as areas for bird houses, bat houses, checkers, a “gnome” forest and environmental information. Approximately 50 people attended the “Thank You” party which followed the ceremony. It was a true garden party, complete with champagne and hors d’oeuvres and fancy hats for a photo booth. Everyone had a wonderful time. All were supportive of the Conservancy’s efforts to date, with many committing to volunteering their time and support for the many conservation and environmental projects going on. It was truly a community gathering, for the benefit of the community. There are many opportunities for everyone to get involved at many levels.
