Just want to remind all of you that this months Meet and Greet at Whitaker Gateway Park in Sarasota is scheduled for this evening from 6:00pm to Sunset.


There is some paving work being done in the area, so the parking may be a bit tight.  Some of the parking spaces may be occupied, but one can also park along the curb.

To enter the park - Take Route 41 to the circle at 14th St. (Imperial Drive).  


Coming from the north it is the first exit from the circle — coming from the south it is the  third exit. The park has parking, grass, picnic tables, rest rooms, and is on the Bay. 


Drive all the way in for parking closest to the largest pavilion and seawall. I'll try to put up balloons.


There is plenty of room for us to bring our own chairs and grills are available if anyone wants cook.  As usual bring your own libations and snacks and assemble at 1800 at the west side of the park.


Please wear your mask and keep socially distanced.


If you can't find us please call: Peggy O’Connell at (312)982-1374  


Hope to see you there.
