Independence Weekend Briefing: Flagler County Rotary’s Leadership, Fireworks, Pier Ribbon Cutting, Renner Up

June 30, 2017 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

The Flagler County Rotary Club Thursday evening held its installation banquet as now Past-President Jim Troiano's tenure came to an end, and that of Tracy Loftus, center, began. Cindy Kiel Evans is president-elect. The Rotary provided $12,000 in scholarships under Troiano's tenure, and is putting renewed emphasis on membership and fund-raising this year, as with a gala that will precede the annual opening of its popular Fantasy Lights at Town Center's Central Park in the run-up to Christmas and New Year's. Troiano, who had been part of former Sheriff Jim Manfre's administration, is now the intergovernmental coordinator for the St. Johns River Water Management District, which includes Flagler County. Loftus is with Tom Gibbs Chevrolet, and Kiel Evans is with State Farms. (© FlaglerLive)

 Summer Time ‘Cupcake Citation’ Program in Bunnell, from July 3rd through August 7

 The Bunnell Police Department has teamed up with a local Bunnell business owner, Theresa Tazwell, owner of Cupcake Café, to seek out all good kids in our neighborhoods.  Our Officers will issue a Cupcake Citation good for one free cupcake to all kids observed doing the right thing.  The “Recipe for a Citation” is detailed on the citation:

  • Be Respectful

  • Be Grateful
  • Be Kind

This program gets the Officers out of their vehicles and encourages the following:

  • Promotes a positive one-on-one experience with a police officer.
  • The kids see officers as friends and mentors.

  • And is an investment in our community.

The Bunnell Police Department advocates “Building community relationships through integrity, trust and communication” and the Cup Cake Citation initiative will help build relationships in a positive setting.

New Voting Precincts and Precinct Boundaries in Flagler-Palm Coast

From Elections Supervisor Kaiti Lenhart: In preparation for upcoming election cycles, new precinct boundaries have been approved to accommodate areas of growth in the county. Several voting locations have been impacted. Proposed changes to Flagler County precinct boundaries were presented to the Board of County Commissioners during their public workshop held on May 15, 2017. Two additional precincts were created and the boundaries of several other precincts were adjusted to shift voters from very heavily populated areas. The proposed changes were adopted during the regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on June 19, 2017. Affected voters can expect to receive a new Voter Information Card by the end of July 2017. For more information, please call (386) 313-4170. View the new precinct map and related information.
