John made a memorable presentation at our 50 Year Gala last March leaving us all with the feeling we wanted more. This is our chance to hear even more about our Lido Key and our surrounding community's history.

About 75 Lido Key Residents were able to share a memorable evening at Florida Studio's Theater for the production of Something Rotten on January 8th, 2023. A special thank-you to Pat NIcosia, Lido Surf and Sands and Florida Studio Theater for their work in making this memorable event happen.  LKRA Board hopes we can make this an annual event.

PROGRAM:    

Between 180 and 200 of our friends and neighbors gathered for a holiday treat at the Lido Beach Pavillon on December 13, 2022.  It was the premiere performance of the ArmaLido Community Choir, who led a holiday Singalong. Laszlo Bevardi, executive chef of Bevardi’s Salute Restaurant and Lido Island Grill in Sarasota offered special pricing on good and drinks.  The choir, comprised of members of the ArmaLido community group, the St Armand’s Lutheran Church, and island neighborhood residents and representatives. The organizers of the event were the St. Armands Key Lutheran Church, the Lido Key Residents Association, the St. Armands Residents Association, the Lido Shores Property Owners Association, the St. Armands Circle Association, the Sarasota Harbor Association and Mote Marine.   Plans are under way to do it again in 2023!
