It was standing room only at the Siesta Key Association's annual breakfast March 4 at St. Boniface Episcopal Church.
SKA board member Joe Volpe said the organization sold all of the 152 available seats. He said that the recent Siesta Promenade proposal, the still nebulous Siesta Key hotel and Siesta Key's ongoing outcry against the Big Pass dredge has bolstered citizen engagement.
"People are pretty up in arms about the Promenade and so forth," Volpe said.
After breakfast SKA members welcomed their new president Harold Ashby. Afterward, SKA Vice President Catherine Luckner updated guests on the organization's activities in the past year.
She said the Lido Beach renourishment project will remain at the top of the organization's concerns. She also noted some of the organization's triumphs over the past year such as the opening the Siesta Key Beach Park in 2016.
