IT WAS FANTASTIC!
March, 20, 2023: On the Beach at the Sandcastle Resort, and we mean toes in the sand. Over 150 residents and their guests got together to celebrate our piece of paradise. The committee did an incredible job organizing, the Sandcastle staff and management were hands on making sure this would be an event to remember and Scott Alan brought his "island music attitude" that perfectly complimented a sunny but cool evening. Lots of suggestions that we should make this an Annual Event
