12 Cheers for 20 Years: October Recap

For the month of October, as part of our 12 Cheers for 20 Years Campaign, we raised money for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.  In total, Team “Shuck Cancer” raised $7,008… and had a great time doing it. To raise additional funds for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer beyond the monthly 12 Cheers Birthday Cocktail proceeds, our teams also sold pink “Shuck Cancer” t-shirts and buttons… at some of the stores, we also sold raffle tickets for great prizes! Pictured here is Vicki Giess who won $140 in a 50-50 raffle at our Cortez Oyster Bar.

  Happy birthday, Anna Maria Oyster Bars… Volume 7 I sure do appreciate the job our military does for all of us and find it hard to imagine being away from family and friends being stationed in a far-away land defending my country.

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
