Brick By Brick – Paving The Road To Equality – Ybor, Tampa – The Florida GLBT Democratic Caucus’ Winter Conference will be held in historic Ybor City February 10 – 12, 2012. The Conference will begin on Friday, February 10th with a Welcome Reception from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Hampton Inn and Suites-Ybor, immediately followed by a Gay Ghost Tour of Ybor City (for those who dare!).
Saturday, February 11th will begin with a Caucus Membership Meeting, which will be held at the Metro Wellness and Community Center, 2 doors east of the Hampton, at 1315 E. 7th Avenue, and the day will continue with ‘not to miss’ training and breakout sessions to prepare our Members and guests to return to their communities to fight for Equality and Victory in 2012. The day will end with some exciting surprises to show off the ambience and history of Ybor City, but will leave time to enjoy the exotic blend of aromas, flavors, sights and sound of Tampa’s Latin Quarter.
A farewell brunch is planned on Sunday, February 12th, which is not included in the Conference Fees. (to be held at the Blue Dog Bistro, Centro Ybor)
