In a haze of purple and blue lighting, hundreds of people packed Golf Street on Nov. 21 for "Party at the Point."

Hosted by Sabal Palm Bank, the proceeds from the event went to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota. The night was filled with carnival games, live music and conversation among Sabal Palm clients, Boys & Girls Clubs supporters and executives from both entities.
