Invitations to Best of the Beach are being mailed this week. As with last year, Beebe Medical Foundation anticipates an early sell-out, and suggests that people return their reservations as soon as possible. Save the Date cards were mailed April 1. However, many cards were returned to the foundation because of the postal system’s 911 compliance 5-digit address changes. Those who expected to receive a Save the Date card but did not should contact the foundation to make sure the foundation has their correct address.
Those interested in purchasing raffle tickets, attending the Pregala Derby Party, or the Best of the Beach event should contact Eric Davison by telephone at 644-2951, Ext. 10, or by email at edavison@bbmc.org.
