Five Longboat Key town officials took a swing at raising money for the Bayfront Park revitalization project.

During Ocean Properties Ltd.’s annual charity golf tournament Oct. 15, the officials took turns putting on three holes on the Longboat Key Club’s putting green. Each hole-in-one earned $1,000. A two putt was worth $500, and a three putt was worth $250.

Overall, the town received $10,000 from Ocean Properties to go toward the revitalization of Bayfront Park. 

Ocean Properties also donated a total of $300,000 to eight charities through the tournament.

Longboat Key’s social media presence is thanks in large part to Tina Adams, whose duties include leading a communications team who regularly post infographics, flyers and breaking news alerts to its Facebook, Instagram and X pages. On a Thursday afternoon, Adams walked over to the police station to meet with Police Chief Russ Mager to film the latest video series shared by the town: A Minute with Mager. Adams helped get the right take with the chief, tweaking the script and discussing what was important to include and what could be left out.
