The South Boston Collaborative Center has always held its Annual Spring Fundraiser indoors. The 2016 event, which includes both the Joe Walsh “Community Service” and the Jack Leary “Compassionate Warrior” Awards, saw a change in venue.

Would it interest you to make history? If so, please consider volunteering for the Castle Island Association (the other CIA), the volunteer organization that operates the activities within Fort Independence – guided tours (summer weekend afternoons), sunset viewings (summer Thursday evenings), and an annual gala Halloween Party.
