Approximately 130 people, including county staff and officials, gathered at St. Boniface Church on March 5 for the Siesta Key Association annual breakfast. 

Over pancakes, eggs and coffee, President Michael Shay gave updates on association activities, and Commissioner Alan Maio kept the crowd apprised of developments in topics of interest such as bathrooms at beach access 7, the wastewater plant, a development at Stickney Point Road and US 41, and the new beach facilities.
