Sales of new book to support CIHS
The Captiva Island Historical Society (CIHS) recently announced the publication of “Tales of an Island Innkeeper,” written by Tony Lapi. Fifty years ago, the then Florida hospitality rookie set course on an audacious mission: to rescue Captiva Island’s cherished ‘Tween Waters Inn from the brink of demolition. Board chairman of the Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts, parent of the ‘Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa, Lapi takes readers behind the scenes on his winding journey — one filled with colorful characters, iconic island events, and the triumphs and tragedies that can come with the natural ebb and flow of life, and 50 years of living Captiva’s colorful history. He is donating all sales proceeds to the CIHS. Paperback copies and Kindle editions of the book are available for purchase on Amazon.
