Sarasota Sister Cities Presentation April 7


The Sarasota Sister Cities Organization will present its annual report to the Sarasota City Council at 6 pm on Monday April 7, 2014.  This is an excellent time to learn about the activities of the organization. It is also a good time to learn about local government and to show the City how much interest there is in the efforts of Sarasota Sister Cities in improving relationships with other cities.

Vice President Dave Harralson will make the presentation. President Beth Ruyle Hullinger will be meeting with our Sister City Tel Mond, Israel.

Thank you for your review.

Carrie Weaver, Director of Events


Dear Friends and Members of the SCAS,

My name is Carrie Weaver and I’m so very excited to be writing to you in my new role as Director of Events. After being a part of our community for the last 30-plus years, it’s an honor and a pleasure to step into this position. I have a lifetime of experience in hospitality, event planning and business operations as well as a degree in International Business.

I look forward to using my experience to further SCAS’ goal to be Citizen Diplomats. Recently, I have been spending time getting to know our organization’s members. I was able to attend the One World Gala where I met many of you. What an extraordinary event!

Today, I’m writing with an update on our events we’ve planned in the upcoming months.

Citizen Diplomats—Carving a Path toward Peace since 1963


Gecko's brings its famous casual dining style to the Southside Village neighborhood. It's lucky No. 5 on Hillview Street - a natural fit for Gecko's popular neighborhood grill and sports connection theme. Enjoy great service, great spirits & a delectable menu - with the same affordable prices at this premier central Sarasota location that are offered at every Gecko's location. Gecko's on Hillview is unique with hints of retro Sarasota and old Florida - high open ceilings, brick walls, marble bar and tables, rattan tropical furniture, elaborate ceiling fans and rich chocolate hues make patrons feel like they have stepped back in time. 

No worries though there is no shortage of high definition flat screen TVs to highlight every sporting event. This Gecko's warm southern charm will make you feel right at home. Relax with friends or family for lunch or dinner, watch your favorite sports' team or dine late night from a full diverse menu. There is plenty of street parking and a dedicated parking lot just for Gecko's customers.
