West Florida (Tampa Bay) Emergent Cohort

Sunshine State Cohorts - Emergent Village

1. Moving the Conversation
   We are migrating all of our announcements, discussions, events, photos, etc. over a Ning. The blog will not be updated from this point forward.
   
   The social media features of the Ning will allow a more free-flowing dialogue than the blog has provided. So come on over to the Sunny Emergent Ning, add your profile, and join the conversation!
   
2. Tampa Cohort Gathering Saturday 11.21.09 at Cafe Kili
   Come join us for dialogue about the Christian faith and life. Since Tre Amici will be packed and there will be a parking fee due to the Tampa Cigar Heritage Festival in Centennial Park, we're moving this month's meeting to Cafe Kili on Fowler Ave in Temple Terrace. Cafe Kili is located at 5731 E. Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33617 behind Applebee's near the corner of 56th Street and Fowler Ave. It's about a mile west of I-75. We'll get started at 10:30 AM and go until 12:30 PM or so. As always, anyone is welcome and we'd love to welcome new folks to the conversation.
   
   We'll be back at Tre Amici in Ybor for our December 19 gathering.
   
3. Tampa Cohort Gathering Saturday Oct 17 at Tre Amici
   
   Hello Tampa EV Cohort. We're having our third Saturday gathering for September on Saturday the 17th, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM (or so) at Tre Amici at the Bunker. I'm so excited to be back at Tre Amici following their summer remodeling. They re-opened this week. The address is 1907 19th Street N, Tampa, FL 33605.
   
   As always, anyone who is interested in the conversation is welcome. Please feel free to invite your friends.
   
   Next month's gathering is scheduled for Nov 21, and the Cigar Heritage Festival will be happening in Centennial Park across from Tre Amici. Since they will be charging for parking and Tre Amici may be quite busy, I'd like to find an alternate location for our meeting. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
   
   
4. Cohort Gathering Saturday Sept 19 10:30 AM-12:30 PM
   We're having our third Saturday gathering for September on Saturday the 19th, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM (or so) at La Tropicana Cafe in Ybor. Our normal venue (Tre Amici) is closed until October for remodeling. Hopefully we'll back there for our gathering next month.
   
   La Tropicana is near Tre Amici, and is located at the corner of 7th Ave and 19th Street. The address is 1822 East 7th Ave. Parking is behind the building, accessible off of 19th St. If you want to enjoy some Cuban coffee, a breakfast Cuban sandwich or other tasy treats, please keep in mind that it is a cash only establishment. There is an ATM on site if you need it.
   
   We'll try to gather in the back corner, closest to the parking lot. It's not visible from the front near the counter, so you may need to hunt a bit to find us, but it's not a large place.
   
   As always, anyone who is interested in the conversation is welcome. Please feel free to invite your friends.
   
   Looking forward to seeing you there.
