Israel revisited: A view from the courts and streets

This is a most unusual report from the Energetic Travelers, because we had a unique personal reason to re-visit Israel: Our grandson, Jon Scheyer, was playing professional basketball in Israel for Maccabi Tel Aviv, one of the best professional teams in Europe.

PHOTO GALLERY: St. Armands Circle Association Annual Meeting

The St. Armands Circle Association got fancy with the group's annual meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Sarasota on May 15. Attendees got down to more than just business by enjoying a sunny happy hour on the hotel's lawn before the meeting. Executive Director Diana Corrigan summarized the past year's accomplishments on the circle: median landscape and improvement, additional parking spaces, the most successful Fright Night and new Buskers on St. Armands events, to name a few.
