Membership meetings slated for May and June

The Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists has set its next two meeting locations and times.

We will meet at 11 a.m. May 2 at the Tampa Tribune, 200 S. Parker St., Tampa. We'll be in the South building in a first-floor conference room.

We will meet at 11 a.m. June 6 at the St. Petersburg Times Tampa offices, 1000 N. Ashley Dr., Tampa. Parking is sometimes a challenge -- we'll ask the security guard to let us mark in the lot directly behind the Times building, but you may have to park in the hotel's lot north of the building or the library's lot south of the building.

Anyone is invited to attend our meetings, especially if you are interested in our upcoming projects, which include a documentary screening in June, Poetry slam in July and fundraiser at the NABJ national convention in August.

Feel free to email me or call if you have any questions.

Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you at the meetings!
