LSPOA 2026 Fall Potluck on the Bayou

A beautiful autumn evening on Pansy Bayou was the backdrop for the LSPOA 2026 Fall Potluck... hosted by Andrew and Jess Cox at 150 Morningside Drive. Social Committee Organizers Jan Farber, Anne Essner and Carol Bowen decided a social gathering featuring light bites would be a fun way to welcome back returning Lido Shorians for the season. It turned out to be a great call.

A variety of cold and warm appetizers, as well as a variety of desserts filled several tables out on the spacious deck. Some 65-neighbors sipped wine and caught up for nearly an hour before being nudged to fill their plates.  

Speaking of tables...and chairs... thanks to Katie Best and Carrie Cox for coming through in the clutch to provide them. The City of Sarasota sent the key, but forgot to deliver the neighborhood trailer filled with tables and chairs we usually use. Jan Farber says kudos are also due to Betsy Tilkemeier and her crew of volunteers for set up and take down... and to Fred and Judy Fiala for providing the tasty wines.

And... Many thanks to Andrew and Jess for opening their home for the event.
