About 120 guests attended the annual St. Armands Circle Residents Association dinner and meeting Tuesday night. Before dinner, the residents enjoyed a cocktail hour. Association President Hugh Fiore gave a presentation before dinner as well and later, representatives from the Ringling College of Art and Design gave a presentation on computer animation and an update on the university overall.
