Manasota Key Association planned a social get-together/lunch at La Stanza yesterday afternoon.  I’m estimating that around 100 Manasota Key Association members filled the room with their cheerful personalities and great sense of community.  Chris Boone is doing a terrific job as social director.  We had assigned seating where she decided to separate husbands and wives.  At the end of the meeting, she took a vote to see if everyone enjoyed this new approach and sure enough, most hands went up.  Our new president, Richard Hess, had just a few words, since he didn’t want to turn the luncheon into a meeting.  He is a very personable man, full of energy and ideas on how to maintain or continue to improve the quality of life in Manasota Key, which will ultimately maintain or continue to improve the values of our Manasota Key Real Estate (sorry, but that’s the Realtor in me, always looking for ways to improve our values).  David Green introduced our new website, www.mkahoa.org.  It’s very user-friendly, attractive and informative and deserves a 10 (on a scale of 1-10).  The food was delicious (my fish was very fresh and flavorful) and the conversation was dynamic (my table really had a fun time).  It’s always great to welcome our Manasota Key “snow-birds” back (a phrase we use with endearment) and catch up on our lives.  Hats off to a job well done!!
