St. bridge that crossed Forked Creek before Overbrook Gardens was developed.

for the complete article and the picture. Also, while digging through the
Associations archives
this photo and article in the Herald Tribune
dated 2/10/66 was found. Apparently there was some controversy surrounding
the removal of the bridge.

Southwest Sarasota County Alliance of
Homeowners; the Sarasota Council of Neighborhood Associations, and the Lemon Bay
League, the later of which is a group of homeowner, businesses, and professional
people from both Sarasota and Charlotte Counties, who promote common planning
and seek solutions to regional problems affecting the greater Englewood area. Various members of the Board of Directors periodically attend
seminars on subjects such as: development of grants applications, disaster
preparation, and neighborhood leadership development: and when appropriate, they
attend meetings of such groups as the Englewood Area Planning Advisory Board,
The Englewood Community Redevelopment Authority, the Sarasota County Planning
Commission, and the Sarasota County Commission. Participation in all of these
activities gives Overbrook Gardens a greater voice in community affairs as well
as access to a broad base of knowledge on what is going on and how to get help
when necessary. For information on current community activities see
