I am truly honored to serve as the president of the Port Manatee Propeller Club.

Mary Fabre LeVine, Esq.
In 2012 Mary was honored as “Member of the Year” by the Port Manatee Propeller Club for her overall commitment to the Club, particularly for spearheading its charitable efforts regarding a maritime-related public art project unveiled late 2012 at the new Bradenton Riverwalk.
The Port Manatee Propeller Club, chartered by the International Propeller Club of the United States, is dedicated to the enhancement and wellbeing of all maritime community interests on a local, national and international basis. Its goal is to educate legislators and the public as to the importance and necessity of all waterborne commerce. Port Manatee Propeller Club has been honored twice as the Southeast Regional Club of the Year and previously nominated as the International Club of the Year.
Mary has a genuine enthusiasm for assisting in the success of Port Manatee as an international gateway and the Propeller Club provides an opportunity to work with Port staff and maritime professionals to father that effort. The mural regarding the area’s rich marine history which she worked to have placed on the Riverwalk is just one example of her efforts in this area.” –Mark P.
