WHAT A FUN FIRST-EVER AMOB SUMMER FEST!

What a FUN first-ever AMOB Summer Fest!

Rain couldn’t dampen the FUN at our first-ever Summer Fest! We had a wonderful time at Summer Fest on Saturday, and we hope you did, as well! A guest absolutely made my day when he emailed me with some feedback complimenting our staff, the experience, and the delicious food. I’m so happy to hear that our team delivered a wonderful experience, rain or shine. “When can we do it again? Can you make it rain on cue again? Or, perhaps not.” Definitely NOT on the “rain on cue” request… but on behalf of Matt, Lynn, Nicole & the Summer Fest

JULY HAPPENINGS FROM ANNA MARIA OYSTER BAR

🐬 July Happenings from Anna Maria Oyster Bar

  Surviving Summer in Florida Tip #497: AMOB Margarita, Rinse, Repeat. Summer days in Florida are best enjoyed on or near the water. Luckily, even if you’re not sailing on a boat or lounging on a beach, a visit to the Anna Maria Oyster Bar nearest you can seem like a tropical getaway. Escape reality with a fruity umbrella drink and a seafood feast! By now, you’ve probably heard that in 2017, we’re celebrating Anna Maria Oyster Bar’s TWENTIETH YEAR in business in the Manatee-Sarasota area with the 12 Cheers for 20 Years campaign. “12 Cheers” is as much a “cheers

DIVE INTO READING PROGRAM

Dive Into Reading Program

There’s a definite correlation between grade-level reading and success. Studies show that of the children who are reading at one or more grade levels below their age when they finish 3rd grade, a majority will NEVER graduate high school and many will end up in Juvenile Detention Centers. There is also a concept called the Summer Slide where children “stop” learning during summers and have a hard time catching back up. Click here to view a video on Summer Slide. After talking with many concerned people in our community… in education & in the general community, the Anna Maria Oyster

MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE

Memorial Day Tribute

Happy Memorial Day…we’re so proud to honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice for our country this weekend. I wanted to briefly share a short message and some images and readings that are very meaningful to me personally. One of my buddies, Andy, who was a Marine, reminds us that, “this is not an attempt to keep anyone from enjoying the upcoming weekend. It is an attempt to remind each of us why we have this celebration, and why we can have this celebration on Memorial Day. Semper Fi.” Click the image below to view full gallery.
