The tickets will sell for $8.00. The event will include drawings for prizes and free NFB literature. Our regular chapter meeting will take place after the Pancake Breakfast at Beef’O’Brady’s. We will need to give a head-count to the restaurant before the event so they will know how many to expect.

She would like everyone to wear their NFB yellow polo shirts the day of the event. She will look into having more yellow polos made for members who do not have them. In any event, those chapter members should wear yellow shirts for the event. We should plan to be there from 8:30 AM until Noon on that day for the Breakfast and the meeting.

We decided to donate $50.00 for bottled water for the event (motion by Jessica Cuddy, second by Sewar Qumebi).

Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties are filing for a license to provide transportation service between those three counties.
