Tampa Alumni Chapter
The recent Tampa alumni chapter event was a huge success! We had approximately 49 alumni, friends and families attend the lunch and eco-tour. After a delightful lunch and discussion of future chapter events and goals, everyone walked over to the Florida Aquarium where we toured the bay on a 64-foot catamaran. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and we got to see nature at its best. The children as well as the adults were excited to see wild dolphins and sea birds. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the event. Our thanks to Angie Nelson, coordinator of alumni events, for helping the Tampa alumni chapter put on this fun event.
