Unfortunately, we will not be able to make the bowling due to employment! Sorry, I hope you all have fun! Oh, is it Saturday? Oh shoot

Happy thankful Thursday Tampa Bay National Federation of the Blind,

I just wanted to follow up on some items from our meeting. I’ll try and keep it as brief as possible.

First and foremost…FUN! Who will be attending our Full moon “Pins and Pizza Social” next Saturday April 12th from 4-6p at Pinchasers in Tampa located at 4847 N Armenia Ave, Tampa Florida 33603 <https://www.google.com/maps/search/4847+N+Armenia+Ave,+Tampa+Florida+33603?entry=gmail&source=g> ? Price is between $15-20 (price depends on how many people attend) and includes an afternoon of fun, pin crushing aka. bowling, and a slice of pie (pizza). Please bring cash the day of, for ease of convenience. Come for as long as you can or plan to stay and socialize. We always have a great time!

We officially have the room booked at Beef O’ Brady’s for our meeting the 3rd week of May Saturday the 17th, at our regularly scheduled time 12-2p. Looking forward to seeing our continuing contributors and new faces. Bring a friend or family member as a way to kick off our community integration era. All are welcome!

We are initiating the inception of the “Tampa Bay Chapter Community Contact List”. If you would like your name and phone number and email or any variation shared with our active membership as a resource please email me your contact information.

We are also putting together an order for National Federation of the Blind Tampa chapter polo shirts. We will have an option for our Tampa Bay short sleeve canary yellow polo, as well as other color and style options to choose from. The yellow Tampa Bay chapter shirt is a great first choice since this is what we wear while fundraising and doing community outreach, as well as to National Federation of the Blind conferences and events. 

We also had our marvelous new member Maury mention a beginning a book club. If this is something you would like to participate in, let us know, as it would be helpful in gauging active interest.

Lastly we are trying to get a date on the books for our Paint and Sip sensory social. We could either do it as a stand alone event on Saturday June 7th from 12p-3p or on Saturday June 28th as an extended after meeting event. Chef Curt is happy to host us at Beef O’ Brady’s in the private room which seems ideal because it will be nice and cool AND you can have table side service! Friendly reminder that the National Convention kicks off July 8th- July13th in New Orleans.

Please reply to me at nfbf.tampa at gmail.com <mailto:nfbf.tampa at gmail.com>  with the events you will be attending and how many are in your party, so we can plan accordingly. If you would like your information included in the contact list please include that information as well.

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve been having, nothing like spring in Tampa Bay!

Best,

Christine Copley
