Join us for our last event of 2009! The event will be holiday themed, with giveaways and the BEST networking in the Westchase Area! Join us if you can ... and tell your friends! When: Monday, December 14, 2009 Time: 6-8PM Where: Serenity Spa, in West Park Village - Montague St. HAPPY HOUR! Join us!
Hello WABA! We are looking at maybe TWO events in December before the holidays really get rolling, and the first one is December 3rd!
Our host will be Ron Salerno, Owner of Bellisimo Ristorante. He has invited all WABA members to come out and network at his restaurant, and taste some wine!
This event will be a little different than most, in that it will require a $5 fee to cover some of Ron's expenses. We will sometimes do this to cover generous restaurant donations - when the event is held at and catered by a specific restaurant.
Here are all the details:
Date: December 3rd
Time: 7PM-9PM (or later?)
What: Wine tasting with hors d'oeuvres
How Much: $5.00 at the door
We hope you can join us! Get your networking in before the end of the year! Invite friends and spread the word of WABA!
WABA got a great write up in today's St. Pete Times. It highlights WABA's accomplishments and future goals and hopefully will bring some awareness to the AWESOME Westchase Area Businesses! http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/article1051026.ece
Westchase Chiropractic is hosting a WABA Coffee on:
November 13th, 7-9AM
You can find Michael Sosa and his staff at Westchase Chiropractic located at 10981 Countryway Blvd, Tampa, FL 33626.
