Do you have a yearbook that you never look at and no longer want to keep?

We have a list of alumni looking for yearbooks that we don't have extra copies of, and we'd love to have your copy for them if you would like to donate it.

Books can be mailed to us or dropped off at the drive-through donation door at Manatee Memorial Foundation Thrift Shop, located at 4517 Manatee Avenue West. Just tell them it's for us.

THANKS - WE ARE MANATEE!!
