Dear WADA Members,

Thank you to those who attended our February 12th general membership meeting.  We had a great turn-out and a lively discussion. If you weren’t able to make it, here's a link to what we presented. I am also thankful for members who participated in the focus groups and talks last month. They gave me a good sense of what our membership likes and would like to see more of. Thanks also to three business members who met with me one-on-one to talk about ways to promote the arts and their businesses: Meredith Rogers of Sapphire Audio Visual Experts, which has a new home in the District; Damien Bertucelli of Raymond James, and Richard McGinness of Modern Tampa Bay Homes.

Get Involved!  

If you’re already a member, join us in growing the organization, advocating for the arts and artists, and improving the District.  I volunteer my time because I want to be a part of a supportive and thriving community. I hope you will join me.
