Palm Beach County will run a Wednesday men’s softball league in South County Regional Park. There are also leagues in Okeeheelee Park.
The games in West Boca start on January 16th, with an organization meeting coming up December 4th at Coconut Cove (if you want to play, you probably should go to the meeting). Be ready to come up with $500 or so. Fun ain’t free.

Gunfire In South County Regional Park?
Early this morning, perhaps from 6 – 7:20 am, we heard approximately 15 shots that seemed to come from South County Regional Park, in groups of 3-5 rounds.
We’re not sure what that was. It was not enough for any kind of target shooting competition. Maybe the golf course is trying to take out some kind of nuisance animals, like geese?
We’d love to hear from locals. If anyone knows what those sounds were, please post a comment, or send us an e-mail.
Light the Night Walk – Saturday
This Saturday there will be a Light the Night walk at the Sunset Cove Amphitheater in South County Regional Park. The event hopes to raise money for Leukemia and related illnesses.
Things get going around 5ish with music and more. It wraps up about 3 hours later.
Relay for Life Has Hit The West Boca Ground Running
The American Cancer Society knows that the road to end cancer cannot be done overnight. However, the organization knows that for a single night all over the country, residents can come together to fight to end cancer, remember those who have lost their battle to the disease, and honor those who are still fighting. That is what Relay for Life is all about: a night of celebration and honor, where participants raise money in teams for the American Cancer Society and come together with others of the community.
While Relay for Life of West Boca may not be until February, teams are already in place and beginning their fundraising. This year, the theme is Destination: Cure! The Relay
will be held on February 23rd, 2012 starting at 12:00 PM at Logger’s Run Middle School.
How can you get involved?
- Step 1: Know your cause. Relay for Life and American Cancer Society information can be found here: Learn about Relay for Life
- Step 2: Create a team! Anyone can create a team and raise money for the cause. Contact West Boca Relay for Life event chair, Elissa Goldstein, at 561-859-5792 for more information and team meeting dates. Visit the West Boca Relay for Life Page
Elissa Goldstein - Step 3: Be creative and active in your fundraising. West Boca Relay for Life teams up with local restaurants and vendors to provide fundraising nights, where proceeds go to fundraising teams to be given to the American Cancer Society.
Upcoming fundraisers - Step 4: Spread the word. Using social media and good ole fliers can go a long way. The American Cancer Society even has a generic e-mail that can be sent out with a direct link for donations, so don’t think your long distance family can’t contribute!
- Step 5: Get excited. Though fundraising takes months, the event itself is the culmination of everyone’s fundraising efforts.
On Monday, November 12th from 11am-11pm, Chili’s is partnering with local Relay teams to donate funds during Chili’s Give Back Night event. The flyer will soon be available here
