Earlier this week we were happy to join with the Service Club of Manatee County as they prepare for their fundraising year. This also gave us the opportunity to test out a hybrid civic meeting. Where we were able to socially distance a dozen members inside the Kiwanis Ballroom...

COVID-19 has created new roles for most of our staff. This morning Marketing Associate John Andruzzi, Larry Crouse from our scenic shop, and CEO Janene Amick were up bright and early tending to landscaping in the front of the building. Great progress!
