The Sanibel Historical Village has announced Congress Jewelers will be a gold sponsor of its fundraiser Gala Movie Premiere on Feb. 22, when it will show the documentary “Secrets & Stories of the Sanibel Lighthouse.”

“Congress Jewelers has always been very supportive of the Historical Village’s mission to preserve, share, and celebrate Sanibel history,” said Executive Director Emilie Alfino. “We are grateful to them for their sponsorship of our gala.”
