So, What is The Center of AMI?

According to the Center of AMI website, “the Center is a non-profit community center on Anna Maria Island. The Center strives for excellence in meeting the human service needs of all those living on or near our barrier island. We are focused on the community and open to all.  In doing so, the Center is often seen as an “Educational Center,” a “Recreational Center,” a “Youth/Teen Center,” a “Fitness Center,” and a “Senior Citizen Center.” It also serves as the Center Post Disaster Shelter.
