Mote Aquarium at I-75 and University Parkway - Gifts For Sarasota - A Public Private Partnership
About 100 people turned out for Friday’s Mote Aquarium groundbreaking next to the Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota. Some firefighters, general public, press, Sarasota and Manatee commissioners and Mote trustee and board members attended the event. Mote has raised more than $75 million for the new ship-shaped aquarium and will use the existing Mote Marine Lab for research space.
A true public partnership between Mote, local governments, and charitable donors.
A great gift to our community.
Gifts From Sarasota Sister Cities

Sister Cities International FREE VIRTUAL ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Sister Cities International is continuously striving to expand our member resources. Although this year has brought many challenges, we have enjoyed the opportunity to work with our membership to expand our virtual connections!
This year, we’re tackling the virtual world by introducing our very first Online Conference. As more sister cities programs explore new ways of connecting with their international partners, we thought it appropriate that this year’s conference theme be “Reimagining Citizen Diplomacy: New Connections in a Virtual World”.
We are also excited to report that there will be no cost to participate in this year’s event. Please be sure to mark your calendars and register early.
We look forward to seeing you at our 2020 Annual Conference!

Memo To: SCAS Membership
From: SCAS Board of Directors
Date: June 7, 2020
Subject: Election of Board Members for Year 2020-2021
______________________________
The Coronavirus has affected many of the normal operations of organizations and businesses in our country and community. We have not been able to hold any of our normal functions nor activities such as Exchange Programs with our Sister Cities, Monthly Luncheons, Afternoon Speakers Bureau or Meet & Greets. We also normally hold our annual election for the Sister Cities Association of Sarasota (SCAS) Board of Directors at our May luncheon. However due to the restrictions imposed by the health concerns we are requesting that we do not hold our normal election procedure for the SCAS Board Officers for the 2020-2021 annual appointments, but rather, reinstate all our current board members who are willing to continue in their current position for another year.
Since voting by our membership for the Board of Directors is specified in our SCAS bylaws we are requesting that our membership approve the proposed reinstatement of all our current board members who are willing to continue in their current position for another year. We would appreciate your response if you do not wish SCAS to proceed with this approach for appointment of our 2020-2021 SCAS Board of Directors. We have attached the current Board of Directors Organizational Chart for your review. Thank You.
Respectively Submitted,
