The Concession, Founders Club, Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club and The Oaks

As master-planned golf communities took off in popularity during the 50s and 60s, and again in the 90s, golf became a way of life for many part- and full-time Floridians who enjoy spending their days on the links. Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton are home to many world-famous golf courses, such as The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch Country Club, The Oaks Club on Sarasota Bay, and The Founders Golf Club in Sarasota.

“A place where respect, equality, opportunity, justice and peace prevail.” This is only a fraction of the oath the young girls at the Sarasota Girls Inc promised as Commissioner Suzanne Atwell swore in the young and newly appointed Dream Harbor commissioners. Dream Harbor is an entire “city” run by the girls and for the girls, within the walls of Girls Inc. We had the honor of witnessing the exciting She Votes swearing in ceremony for their Dream Harbor Government on November 12, 2014. There was such a sense of pride and honor in the air as one by one the new commissioners took the stage to give their acceptance speeches.
