Hello BACA Members and New Board Members:

First- congratulations to all the new Board Members. I am sure we will all work together to make this the best year yet for BACA and to "put us on the map", so to speak.
As we are all volunteers, I personally hope everyone in BACA will work together and lend support to make our organization and it's hard working Board members appreciated. A New Year and a New Beginning is always nice and I for one am looking forward to an exciting and rewarding year.

Now, I would like to give you all the information you need to send Thank You's to Brio Tuscan Grille. The event was absolutely wonderful and they certainly rolled out the red carpet for BACA. Not only is the place impressive, the food presentation and menu were outstanding- and we only got a smattering of their delicious food. They have a very extensive menu both for lunch and dinner.

If you missed this, please do not hesitate to send your guests, as it is an outstanding addition to International Plaza and the Tampa Bay restaurant scene- without a doubt. The ambience, party rooms upstairs, restaurant area both inside and outside and kitchens are quite impressive. They are more than happy to give BACA members a tour!

Our gracious hosts/hostess for the evening were:

Marc Herman, General Manager intl.manager@bbrg.com
Tammy Martinez, Banquet Manager intl.banquet@bbrg.com
Chef Freddy Sevilla (outstanding and charming) intl.chef@bbrg.com

International Plaza also had a nice gift for allof our memebrs. Special thanks to Nina, Natasha, and Michael!

If you wish to mail your Thank You's please send to attention to above parties at: Brio International Plaza #87, International Plaza, Space B209, Tampa, FL 33607.

Have a great week and look forward to seeing you all Tues., Nov. 17 at Clearwater Aquarium and Island Way Grill.

Regards,

Sheryl
