I am happy to report that the inaugural Braca Family Women’s Basketball Tournament on Saturday was very successful, and from all reports, each of the players enjoyed themselves while competing in this new event. I want to thank the participants who made this competition so enjoyable, Kim and Jennifer Gibson (of the Braca family) for sponsoring this event, and the members of our Recreation Office for organizing and hosting the tournament. I hope we see each of this year’s players return in 2025, as this event grows larger and larger in the years to come.
If you have a child who enjoys expressing his or her artistic talents, our 3rd Annual Beach Tag Art Contest is now accepting entries.
