The City of Sanibel’s 50th Anniversary Workgroup, in partnership with the Sanibel Community House and the Sanibel Historical Museum and Village, is proud to present a special evening honoring the dedicated first responders who have served the island over the past 50+ years. This milestone event will take place on April 2nd at 6:00 PM with doors opening at 5:30 PM, at the Sanibel Community House.
The evening will feature a special discussion panel of fire, police, and EMS personnel, who will share compelling stories from Sanibel’s first 50+ years of emergency management. Attendees will hear firsthand accounts of historic moments, challenges, and the evolution of public safety on Sanibel Island.
Topics of discussion will include:
- The foundational days of the Sanibel Police and Fire Departments
- Navigating early challenges in emergency response
- Cultivating a connected and resilient community
Light hors d’oeuvres will be served, and a cash bar will be available.
Registration is free and required to attend. No walk ups the night of the event. During registration, guests will have the opportunity to make an optional donation of any amount, which will support the Sanibel Community House and the Sanibel Historical Museum and Village.
