Marco Island Woman’s Club Donates to Beach Committee

 On May 17, 2024, Cristina Leske and Debbie Rosen, from the Marco Woman’s Club presented the Beach and Coastal Resources Advisory Committee, (BACR) a check for $500 “to help with keeping our beach clean.”

Accepting the donation was Kathryn Grigsby of the Growth Management Department for the City of Marco Island. Also present was Lindsay Boehner, volunteer committee member for BACR.

Boehner thanked the Marco Island Women’s Club for their generous donation and added that “through the BACR we help supply the beach cleanup crew with grabbers and buckets. We will be using the money to help with this expense. We have also noticed that the “Keep Off the Dune” signs at the properties adjacent to the South Beach entrance need to be replaced and I will be asking that the committee use a portion of this donation to replace two signs in this high-traffic area. The dune is a very important piece of the beach habitat, and a healthy dune is critical for a healthy ecosystem on the beach. Thank you again for taking the time to come to city hall today and presenting us with this check and supporting the Love Your Beach Marco group by sponsoring a beach cleanup each year.”
