New Date February 10 6:30PM
It's time to howl at the moon again with Southernmost Slow Ride! February Full Moon is known as the Snow Moon so let's dress in our Snowy best!
We are meeting at the end of White Street Pier, by the Compass, at 6:30pm. The sun sets at 6:18pm if you want to arrive early.
Come catch the sunset and howl at the moon with us or at least have fun riding and socializing. All ages and abilities are welcome! Meet us out at White Street Pier and we normally meet at the end of the pier. We start gathering at at 6:00pm and ride out at 6:30pm Routes are TBA.
Please bring, install, and use as many lights on your bike as possible. Regular bike lights, decorative bike lights, wheel lights, glow sticks, novelty light-up glasses and hats and ties and boas, and anything lights up or glows and is safe to ride with!
If you have any bike-mounted music, you can bring that too. We will have tunes playing from a couple of our bikes.
Don't have that stuff? You can still come and ride.
NOTE: Ride at your own risk. No road closures, no escorts, only informal marshaling-a mellow ride with friends you know and some you haven't met yet. We will "take the lane" and own the road at times, but we will also get in single file or pull over to allow backed-up cars to pass, so please follow the marshals and the general vibe of the group.

5901 College Rd.
The College of the Florida Keys honored the career of W. Jean Mauk, Vice President of Finance and Administrative services, who retired last week after 24 years of service to the College. On Tuesday, the CFK's District Board of Trustees presented a resolution of appreciate to Mauk at their monthly meeting, and on Friday, colleagues, board members, and friends gathered on the Key West Campus to celebrate her contributions to the College.
Mauk started her career at the College as the Controller in 1996 and was promoted to Dean of Finance and Administrative Services in 2006. While she retired in 2007, she returned to the College in 2011 as the Vice President of Business and Administrative Services. She also taught Financial Accounting at the College. During her tenure, Mauk has ensured the College's strong financial standing. She has overseen major upgrades in technology as well as the completion of several construction projects including Lagoon Landing residence hall, the Marine Technology building, and the recovery from Hurricane Irma.
"Her dedication, attention to detail, and knowledge has allowed the College to maintain a strong fiscal position and good facilities despite the lack of state funding to support our enterprise," said CFK President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra. "We thank her for her exemplary leadership and wish her the best in her retirement."
-------------------
Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay presented a $100K donation to CFK President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra yesterday. The donation will go toward constructing CFK's new Upper Keys Center in Key Largo, scheduled to open in August 2021. The 38,000 square foot building will include facilities dedicated to training future and current law enforcement and corrections officers through the College's Institute for Public Safety. The donation came from drug-related funds and not from taxpayer funds.

FLORIDA KEYS COUNCIL OF THE ARTS BUILDING (GATO CUBAN CIGAR FACTORY) 1100 SIMONTON ST.
"Corpus" Curated by the Extremely Talented Alaen Ledesma Fernandez with the Backing of The Florida Keys Council of the Arts at the Roberto Russell Gallery at Ocean Sotheby's Int. Realty 81888 Overseas Hwy. Islamorada.
The Corpus collective exhibition brings together the work of five Cuban painters who focus their visual discourse on the human body. From different expressions, the body is the protagonist of his works, and with this the inquiry about his particular rituals of representation and understanding of beauty.
Using figuration as an artistic expression and evoking a universe of individual symbols, they bring the viewer closer to their particular stories while proposing routes of inquiry about the human condition, the balance between pain and hope and the complexity of life experience.
The works of Capdevilla, Nodarse, Guzmán and the binomial Sandra and Enmanuel reveal five different ways of transcending the limits between the corporal and the spiritual, of externalizing the harmony between the internal sphere and the universal space, while seducing contemplation and They encourage reflection.
Curated by Alaen Ledesma Fernandez and Supported by The Florida Keys Council of the Arts , Ocean Sotherby's International Realty.

The City of Key West wants to remind residents aware that they cannot block off parts of the public right of way for private parking. Now that season is getting into full swing, City officials have received complaints that some residents are posting signs or even using cones and barricades to reserve parking spaces along the city streets. The right of way is public property, and cannot be marked with private "No Parking," "No Trespassing," or other signs. Nor can this area be blocked with cones or other obstructions.
The City's Code Compliance and Parking Enforcement officers will be addressing this illegal use citywide in the coming weeks. Anyone who has tried to reserve city right of way for private use is warned to take down the signs or remove the blockage immediately. Cones or other illegal blockades will be removed.

Mayor Teri Johnston and the Key West City Commission have proclaimed February 8
th
as Elizabeth Bishop Day in honor of one of the city's most renowned poets.
Elizabeth Bishop lived in Key West in the 1930s and 1940s and found inspiration, support, and solace in its subtropical flora, fauna, culture, and in the variety of its people.
"Bishop's poetic style underwent a lasting transformation in response to Key West's unique environment, and she completed her first book, 'North & South' while living in Key West," reads the proclamation.
Bishop went on to become one of the most important American poets of the 20th century.
Bishop's former Key West home at 624 White Street has been acquired by Key West Literary Seminar and will be restored and preserved as it was when Bishop lived there.
Arlo Haskell, the executive director of the Key West Literary Seminar, accepted the proclamation.
"The poems Elizabeth Bishop wrote about Key West," he said, "keep this place fresh and interesting and lively."
He encouraged the community to come to the White Street house on Saturday, February 8
th
from noon until 2 p.m. for an open house.

Young performers from Gerald Adams and Poinciana Elementary Schools will join HOB elementary students to star as the Munchkins in their enthusiastic version of "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead."
Since 2017, Bahama Village Music Program has offered the free musical theater program to local schools, allowing them to increase their outreach into the community and bring the gift of music to as many children as possible.
Tickets are available at bvmpkw.org and can also be purchased at the door. A silent auction and a concession stand will be available for all performances.

The below Site has Past and Current Issues of The Keys Blast from Ed Krane & Friends
Gracy sends regards and tells us : This website was created to make easier to event goers to find times and dates. Companies can save time and always have updated/available events available to them and their customers. They don't have to search every local news paper to find what they need. They have ready and combined information on one calendar. It's also online and therefore very convenient. Most people are digital nowadays. Another selling point is that the calendar of events will provide useful information that can be used for scheduling. Any company who is having a special event can look at the global calendar and avoid clashing times/dates with other organizations. This also allows them to attract more people to their events by scheduling their own events when other organizations aren't scheduled.
