Summertime Is Potluck Dinner Time!
It's our tradition to host a potluck dinner at all Manatee Patriots meetings. So we ask attendees to please bring along an item that can be shared among fellow Patriots. Bring any portion you like but most folks tend to bring 10-12 servings of a particular dish.

A Call For Candidate Petitions And Surveys | |
| |
Here's a novel concept: rather than create trite political slogans, why not ask voters what's on their minds when it comes to Manatee County Schools? That is exactly the approach that Mark Stanoch - candidate for Manatee County School Board District 1 - is pursuing. The idea is to go door to door in District 1 communities and survey folks while asking for their signature on the Candidate Petition. It will be fun and a great way to meet your neighbors. To learn more and to sign up, simply click on this link and fill out a short participation form.
If you live in School Board District 1 (generally north of SR64 and east of I-75) you can sign a petition too! To download the Candidate Petition, just click on the cleverly placed button below. Please bring completed forms to our next meeting. | |
