2 Historic St. Andrews Waterfront Partnership

Historic St. Andrews Waterfront

Partnership is committed to envi-

ronmental protection, sustainability

and waste prevention. As a water-

front community, protection of our

water ways is very important.

To kick off these efforts, Lucky’s

Market has partnered with us to

help fund some initial projects to

encourage reduced waste.

Lucky’s Market will host its Impact

Day, April 10, in conjunction with

Keep America Beautiful Month, and

donate 10 percent of their sales from

that day to Historic St. Andrews

Waterfront Partnership to help fund

and promote environmental

sustainability and waste prevention

in our community as well as at the

St. Andrews Farmer’s Market.

We will offer our market vendors

paper bags to use in place of plastic

bags.

We will also offer our market

shoppers reusable canvas shopping

bags to help reduce waste. In addi-

tion, we plan to hold educational

workshops and distribute informa-

tive brochures about environmental

sustainability, waste prevention, and

preservation and protection of our

bays and water ways.

We would like to thank Lucky’s Mar-

ket for their support!

Miss Lillian’s 1937 shopping list

provides rare insight

3

In 1937, Miss Lillian West writes a

letter to Eleanor Roosevelt asking her

to support a plan she has in mind.

When Miss Lillian receives a

response on official White House

stationary, being the frugal and

practical Depression era community

leader that she is, she recycles the

White House envelope for use as her

shopping list! Thanks to this artifact,

we know what Miss Lillian ate.

Things like this just bring her to life

and provide us with a rare insight

into her personality.

If you would like to learn more about

this iconic trailblazer and her impact

on the history of St. Andrews, stop

by the Panama City Publishing

Museum and let us tell you more

about her. Museum hours are Tues-

day—Friday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and

Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Florida Humanities Council an-

nounced this week that Historic St.

Andrews has been selected for the

Florida Humanities Council’s Florida

Stories Walking Tours app program.

Florida Stories, a walking tour app,

supports the creation of cultural, his-

torical, and architectural walking

tours for communities across the

state of Florida.

The Florida Stories app allows users

to learn about the history of some of

Florida’s most unique towns at their

own pace and on their own schedule.

Florida Stories is designed to:

• explore the history and heritage of

Florida

• increase knowledge about and ap-

preciation of local communities

• connect small communities on a

statewide platform

• create an immersive humanities

program that is both fun and educa-

tional

• create sustainable and walkable

cultural tourism products

• build collaboration between com-

munity partners

Historic St. Andrews will join several

other Florida towns including St. Au-

gustine, Pensacola, Key West, Tam-

pa’s Ybor City, Tallahassee, Tarpon

Springs, and others that are already

in the program.

The Historic St. Andrews Waterfront

Partnership’s Museum Operations

and Procedures Committee, which

submitted the application earlier this

month, developed partnerships with

the Bay County Library Local Histo-

ry Room, Beach TV, Panama City

and Panama City Beach Visitor

Maps, and the Panama City News

Herald who all are providing in-kind

assistance to the project.

Support letters from the Historical

Society of Bay County, the St. An-

drews Independent Business Alli-

ance, and Com. Mike Nichols added

to the application’s strength.

The project will be completed and a

launch celebration held at the Pana-

ma City Publishing Company Muse-

um in September 2018.
