It was an underwater fanta-sea for guests at the St. Michael the Archangel fashion show.

The group met at Laurel Oak Country Club on March 20 for a lunch and fashion show, with clothes provided by PJ's Boutique on Main Street. Before the fashion show, there were several basket items up for a raffle. The theme for the show was sea life. 

The Siesta Key church is currently raising money to rebuild its Parish center. 

Mary Freeman bids on a raffle item for the Best Grandmother package, which included children's books and movie tickets.
