1) General Interest

BarCampTampaBay last Weekend

What an awesome experience it was to go to this.  Over 130 people attended.  The breakout sessions were put together each morning.  You always had 5 sessions from which to select.  Everyone's main problem was to zero in on the sessions that promised to be the most informative for them.  If they can do it again next year, I will push for more to attend.

Free TimeShare Seminar by Jim Boynton
Wed, Sep 30th, 1-3pm at the Resource Center
 After buying a timeshare on St. Pete Beach for $1 on eBay, Jim Boynton has decided that it is a good time to be buying timeshares on auction sites. He is going to present a free seminar to explain timeshares, options, how to buy them, and what to watch out for when looking for one. If you want to find out if this is for you and if you can capitalize on it at this time and get some better vacations in the process then this seminar is for you.  There will be no sales promotions or pressure, just sharing information.  This seminar is open to non members as well.  Feel free to bring friends and neighbors with you if you wish.
