Mark your calendars: membership meetings on Nov. 7 and Dec. 5

Hello all!

The end of a great year for TBABJ is upon us. That said, we've got two
more upcoming meetings I hope you'll be able to attend. We've got a
Christmas party to plan and discussions on a forum we may host, so
your input would be greatly appreciated.

Mark your calendars for the following two dates:

-The next meeting will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7 at
Perkins Restaurant, 12650 N. Dale Mabry in Carrollwood. We have a room
reserved until 2 p.m. There's no cost as long as we come hungry and
order something. (FYI, for the St. Pete/South Tampa folks, I tried the
Perkins closer to I-275, but they wanted to charge us a fee).

-The final meeting of the year will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday,
Dec. 5 at the Times office in Tampa, 1000 N. Ashley Drive, on the
seventh floor in a conference room.

Hope you can make both of these meetings.

Questions? Call me at (248) 760-7561 or shoot me an e-mail to this address.

Take care,

Camille
