You know season is around the corner when perhaps the busiest ballroom in town is filled to the brim.

The occasion was the Goodwill Manasota Community Ambassador of the Year Awards Dinner on Oct. 5 at Michael’s On East, and it attracted residents from all around Sarasota and Manatee County for an evening of recognition.

Goodwill Manasota honored eight locals for their extraordinary leadership and dedication to the Sarasota-Bradenton community. Award winners included Jaime DiDomenico, Tim and Cynthia Holliday, Sheriff Tom Knight, Bill Sterbinsky, Maribeth Phillips and Ashley Anderson.
