The Manatee Center recently hosted its 29th annual Volunteer Appreciation event at Casa Pasta, where food, fun, and awards were celebrated with joy and laughter. Since 1997, The Manatee Center has not only tracked local manatee appearances but has also built a robust volunteer program, with over 215,000 hours generously donated by dedicated and committed individuals.

A heartfelt thank you to Casa Pasta for hosting our group and providing a 5-star food and service experience.
