President’s Corner November 2018

Our 5th Annual Salute to Tourism was our biggest attended yet! Thank you to our nominating committee and a very special thank you to fellow Skalleague, Aimie Johnson and her team at the Florida Aquarium for a most memorable evening. Congratulations again to our members, Roberta Blum, Carol Eaves, Andy Brouillard and Dannette Lynch for your dedication and service to SKAL and Tampa Bay tourism.

Everyone is getting excited about our Annual Holiday Party featuring a Silent Auction and Wine Pull at the Belleair County Club. Now is the time to invite your spouse, fellow colleagues and special guests to join for this festive evening. If you haven't yet, please be sure to get your wine and auction donations to Steven as soon as possible. We look forward to celebrating the holidays and the close of 2018 with our fellow Skalleagues.

Collecting items for our Monthly Raffle

The extra raffle items graciously donated by many of you have been great incentives for our members to participate. We have had some fantastic "extra opportunity drawing" items. THANK YOU!!

We are collecting more items for upcoming meetings. We will be mindful of any time sensitive or restricted items but please try to put an expiration date of at least December 31, 2019 on any certificate.

This entire year we are adding additional prizes to our monthly drawings to garner more excitement and showcase our members. If you would like to donate items for the upcoming dinners or annual holiday auction, please email me and let me know what you will be donating and then mail the certificate, gift card, etc. to the following address:

SKAL Tampa Bay c/o Steven Rodriguez

14280 Passage Way, Seminole FL 33776

This is a great way of advertising your business while increasing odds of winning at our events and supporting our club. Thanks so much to all that have and continue to furnish prizes and auction items.
