TBABJ meeting Saturday June 6 in Tampa

Members and friends of the Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists:

Just a reminder -- TBABJ will meet at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 6 at the St. Petersburg Times office in Tampa, 1000 N. Ashley Drive.

There's a lot to discuss, so I hope you can make it.

We're considering an event in mid-June for journalists who have been laid off or are considering a career transition.

We have a poetry slam planned for July 9, featuring a ton of local poets; this will also be a social where you can meet other journalists and artists from the community.

We are deep in fund-raising and planning for our Aug. 7 fund raiser at the Florida Aquarium, planned as part of the National Association of Black Journalists' national convention in Tampa from Aug. 5 to 9.

We also have a potluck meeting planned for Saturday, July 11, at my home in the Old Southeast neighborhood of St. Petersburg.

So please come visit with us on Saturday and learn more about how we're helping journalists of all ethnicities deal with these challenging times.

Feel free to call or e-mail me if you have any questions!
