The Sara-Keys Chapter is definitely part of a bigger picture, but it has its own history and that history began in May of 1971 when the Chapter was chartered.  It's been in existence for 39 years and still going strong.

There has been a total of 24 Chapter Presidents since 1971.  Some of them have served more than one (1) one-year term.  The Chapter President serving the most terms in a row is Bernadette Azai, who served from 2002-2006 and is still a very active member.

We try to stay active in the community and are always having "drives" to benefit others.  One might say we are driven!!  And locating new potential members is one part of our activities!

The dedication of our officers inspires the other members, because their enthusiasm is contagious!  If you are looking for a Chapter to join and are in the Sarasota area, please contact us!!  We meet the third Tuesday of each month (except for August) and would love to have you join our group!

We have several Committees and even though the "members" serving on them have not been completely populated, each one has a Chairperson to make sure things get done!
