A note from the Executive Director

As I sit here and reflect on my time here as Executive Director of your community center, I am left feeling extraordinarily thankful. Thankful for the community, thankful for our community leaders, thankful for our members, thankful for our volunteers, our donors, our sponsors, our instructors, our board of directors, and our staff. Without the endless support from each the above and many others, The Center or I could not be as successful as we have been. The board, the staff, and I have worked hard to make The Center “the community’s gathering place,” and we will continue to work to achieve a “best in class” facility the entire community can be proud of while we work towards long-term sustainable success.

  • Summer Camp presented by The Ugly Grouper had over 400 campers

  • We’ve hosted a fundraiser for the West Coast Surf Shop and another for hurricane relief for the panhandle.
  • We hosted hundreds of children and families for the Anna Maria Elementary Schools Fall Festival.
  • Hundreds have played Indoor Youth Soccer, Youth Fall Soccer, and Adult Soccer
  • Through funding, we received from Manatee County we were able to purchase two new vans for our Beyond The Classroom After School Program and Senior Adventures.
  • We ended our fiscal year successfully serving over 7,000 unduplicated members with 29,804 fitness related check-ins
  • Financially we finished our fiscal year in the black – a $300,000 positive swing from the previous year.
