Anna Maria Oyster Bar has announced that Cherise Sherwin, a staff member at the Landside Oyster Bar location, has been named the 2018 Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association’s “Restaurant Employee of the Year.” A wonderful member of the AMOB family for nearly 21 years (since Day One at the Landside location which opened in 1997), Sherwin was honored for her hard work, dedication to the company and generous spirit as a Hospitality Star of the Industry award winner. The popular Birthday & Anniversary Club was her idea—now with over 12,000 members—and Sherwin also walks with the AMOB “Shuck Cancer” Making Strides Against Breast Cancer team, sells ducks for PACE Center for Girls and volunteered to captain Dive Into Reading at Landside, the award-winning summer reading program for Title I elementary school children, making sure each one is fed, had a book and is having fun and learning.
