AT THE HISTORIC GREEN STREET CHURCH, 510 S. Indiana Ave., Englewood:
Sarasota County Commissioner 
Ron Cutsinger will be our guest speaker on Tuesday, January 28 at 7pm. Ron and his wife Alison moved to Englewood from Michigan over 50 years ago and opened Ron’s Restaurant in 1974. Ron will talk about their experience with the restaurant and some history around that. He will also discuss more current happenings in the Englewood area from the perspective of the County Commission.
After selling the restaurant Ron went on to complete his formal training in Bible and
Ministry. He returned to pastor a local congregation for 12 years and during that time founded Suncoast Christian School. He continues to serve as a leader in his church.
Additionally, Ron has been a Financial Advisor for the past 30 years.
As a watersport enthusiast, Ron enjoys SCUBA diving, fishing, boating, and kayaking. The natural wonder and pristine beauty of Sarasota County is what originally brought him here. One of his top priorities is to safeguard our treasured environmental assets.
He has served as a member of several civic and nonprofit community service organizations, including Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce. Ron was president of the Friends of Elsie Quirk Library and served as a member of the Sarasota County
Library Advisory Board and the Sarasota County Affordable Housing Advisory
Committee. He was a spokesman for the successful Legacy Trail Extension Referendum.
If all that wasn’t enough Mr. Cutsinger currently serves as a board member of the West Coast Inland Navigation District, Nathan Benderson Park Conservancy, the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County, the Peace River Water Supply Authority, and Visit Sarasota County.
He was elected to the Sarasota County Commission in 2020 and recently re-elected to his second term in 2024 representing District 5 which includes Englewood and most of North Port.
Come listen, ask questions and learn more about our community. Admission is free but donations for the upkeep of the Historic Green Street Church are always welcomed. (The building badly needs to be painted.)
That’s Tuesday, January 28 at 7pm, 510 S. Indiana Ave., Englewood.
