our fifty-sixth
anniversary party

Time to make your reservation for our anniversary party on November 6. We have reserved Ballroom "A" at Michael's on East for our annual fundraiser (note the change of time and location from our early plans) and we are putting finishing touches on preparations for this year's anniversary celebration.

Our honored guest will be Gerry Swormstedt, a former director of CONA and the current chair of the Sierra Club. Her participation in civic affairs has included many organizations. So please forward our invitation to those you know from other community organizations who should join in our tribute to her and, send your favorite anecdote about her, to add to ours.

As always, it will be great food, great company, great door prizes, and an update on our scholars.

Make reservations via return e-mail to cona.sarasota@gmail.com or by sending checks to Box 15788, Sarasota, Florida 34277. A Paypal link is available on our site. The fee is $50 per person and, if you can't attend, please donate.

Environment Brunch: Protecting our coast from Overdevelopment

From Justin Bloom, exec. director of Suncoast Waterkeeper:

Dear friends and environmental advocates,

On March 13, Suncoast Waterkeeper is joining with Sierra Club and the Florida Institute for Saltwater Heritage (FISH) in sponsoring a Brunch to raise money and awareness about threats and progress in protecting our coast from harmful overdevelopment.

Please join us to sustain collaborative efforts by these three organizations on behalf of a community that is energized to protect our coastal resources.

We are currently engaged in several legal challenges at local, state and federal levels to ensure that environmental rules and regulations are respected by developers and regulators. Money raised at this Brunch will support our ongoing joint efforts relating to the challenged Long Bar Pointe and Harbor Sound developments and possible future challenges that arise.

I encourage you to read about the work of Suncoast Waterkeeper on our Website and follow our Facebook posts.

The Brunch will be at the Bradenton Yacht Club on March 13, from noon to 3pm and will feature a raffle and silent auction as well as some interesting guest speakers and awards. Tickets are $50,

​ half of which is tax deductible.​
