TOP NEWS STORIES
Winter Concert Series Returns for 6th Season
Looking to kick those Wintertime Blues? Then head over to Santini Marina Plaza and Fish-Tale Marina to sing, shake and dance at the 6th Annual Winter Concert Series presented by the Fort Myers Beach Friends of the Arts! “The Winter Concert Series originated when the Fort Myers Beach Friends of the Arts got together to promote the local arts and musical scene,” said Janeen Paulauskis, series spokesperson from the Fish-Tale Marina. “As the shows and audience grew over the years, we now bring in more regional and even national acts. All performances are family-friendly, with several kids coming with their parents, and even grandparents if they are in town for a visit. There is a lot of dancing and singing going on at the concerts!” The four-part Winter Concert Series features “The Turnstiles: A Tribute to Billy Joel” on Thursday, January 25; Al Holland & Friends on Thursday, February 22, the King Guys Band on Thursday, March 22 and a Local Artists Showcase on Thursday, April 19. The Turnstiles will appear in the Propeller Lounge at the Fish-Tale Marina, with the final three shows, weather permitting, outdoors from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $25-per-concert; for information or to buy tickets, call 239-463-3600, extension #3, or go to FMBarts.org.  


Fort Myers Beach Full of Volunteer
Fort Myers Beach is a caring community, full of organizations and attractions that require the helping hands of volunteers, year-round but especially now as we head into the annual onslaught of tourist season, to fortify staffs to provide a pleasant experience. While profiling three leading institutions below, there are many more on the island, such as Parks & Recreation, Fort Myers Beach Community Foundation, service clubs, churches, Fort Myers Beach Historic Society and dozens more. The Mound House Wants You The Mound House, Estero Island’s oldest standing structure now owned by the Town of Fort Myers Beach and restored to its 1921 grandeur at 451 Connecticut Street offers tours and roughly 50 monthly programs. “Because the Mound House is so closely linked with history, many assume we only need history volunteers, but nothing is further from the truth,” said Alison Giesen, the Director of Cultural Resources for the Town of Fort Myers Beach and Mound House Director. “We need help in multiple areas, like Administrative Support, Beach Walk Guides, Greeters, Kayak Eco-Tour Aides, Museum Docents, Museum Store Assistants, Photographers, Shuttle Drivers, Social Media /Marketing, Special Events/Fundraising and Student Programming Assistants.”
