In this issue…

We tip our hat in appreciation to longtime community leader, Sam Sudman; sail across the Pacific with some SCC friends; catch up with those industrious Model Railroaders; get a taste of the good food at CC’s Grill; relive a fun Block Party, and get breaking news about SCC’s Long Range Plan. From there, we “go green” with the Tillers & Toilers, head out for some Trail Blazing, meet an interesting neighbor, catch up with cute baby sea turtles at Mote Marine, and learn how the Hope Fund has been affected by COVID-19.

Then, we “get off the couch” for some horseshoes, learn about community informational webinars hosted by the SCC Men’s Club, hang out at the Firehouse, spend a good morning in the “Great Outdoors,” escape to Myakka Park, and get some delicious seafood at the Anna Maria Oyster Bar.
