Hope we see you Wednesday evening at Mugs.

The Tampa Bay Chapter of the Social Enterprise Alliance will hold it's next FREE Mixer at 5:30pm on Wednesday evening, may 4th at Mugs Bar & Grille in the Icot Center just off Ulmerton Road, just East of the US 19 & Ulmerton Road junction and just 1/2 mile West of 49th Street.

Each Mixer provides the opportunity for a local Social Enterprise/Non-Profit to present complete information on how their organization got started, exactly what is their Mission and how they are achieving sustainability and how they are effectuvely meeting their mission.

This month's speaker will be Colonel Sam Martin, USAF (retired)

A native of Texas, Col. Sam Martin, USAF (Ret.), served in the US Air Force for nearly a quarter century. As a Vietnam Veteran who flew fighters over Southeast Asia in the late ‘60’s, Sam is a strong advocate for integrity and fair play in the automobile marketplace today.

Sam developed the VetBuy program as a tribute to all members of the US military who have served this great nation. His concept, “working for the Veteran, not the Dealer,” is changing the way service members purchase vehicles.

More recently, Sam’s involvement with several non-profit organizations alerted him to the difficulties associated with fund-raising. He used his automotive background to develop the Silver Wings Program in 2015 to assist these organizations with an ongoing source of fundraising that is free and easily implemented.

Our new VERY POPULAR venue is Mugs Bar & Grille in the Icot Center in Clearwater, FL which is just 3 miles west of the Route 275/Howard Franklin Bridge interchange.

As in the past there will be some light 'Finger Food' and Mugs has real Happy Hour pricing from 4pm to 8pm. Be sure to RSVP to get your name in the Door Prize drawing for some nice items like gift cards, a wine bottle, etc.
