The members of All Angels Episcopal Church on Longboat Key were the life of the Mardi on Feb. 22. 

Attendees sang, danced and ate well to the beat of New Orleans-inspired jazz music. The event also served as a fundraiser, with all money raised going to Our Little Roses Foreign Mission Society of Honduras, which is an organization that supports young girls in Honduras and teaches them skills.
