[NFBF-Tampa] Marketing our pancake event

[Tampa Bay President]

Good evening, everyone,

Happy July! I just wanted to share the good news that we were able to
secure Louis‘s brother Joel to play some calming “coffee house” classical
piano during our pancake breakfast.

A very happy holiday weekend to everyone. And safe travels to those who are
going to National Convention and traveling otherwise. We will definitely be
with you in spirit. Hope you have a wonderful time, we can’t wait to hear
all about it!

Best,
Christine
