Before the book is closed on the 2011 Captiva Holiday Village, there will be a gathering of all Captivans to discuss this new and evolving holiday imitative at 1 p.m. Jan. 23 in the Wakefield Room of Tween Waters Inn, Captiva.

Questions — How do we feel about Captiva Holiday Village? What events do we like? What changes would we like to make? What improvements can be made? What comments might we offer? And What future do we see? — will be asked and discussed during this meeting.

“The platform, on which a community event is based, is the community itself,said Denice Beggs. ?ithout the enthusiastic support and involvement of the entire Captiva community, Captiva Holiday Village cannot thrive. The future of Captiva Holiday Village not takes a ‘village,’ it takes an energized and enthusiastic village.”
