If you love board games or even if you are just curious about it feel free to join us! We have a vast array of games and difficulty levels from beginner to hardcore and cutthroat. This group is open to anyone whether they be new to the hobby and never played a hobby game to seasoned veterans. This group meets at Critical Hit Games in Saint Petersburg FL. You can also join the Critical Hit Games board game group on Facebook if you’d like https://m.facebook.com/groups/869657669729691/

We believe in unlocking the creativity and fun-loving spirit within each of us. We offer a wide range of classes, workshops, community events, gallery shows, and communal space for various community groups. Whether you’re a professional looking for new inspiration, a new student seeking to learn and have fun, or if you’re simply interested in picking up a new hobby or strolling through our Art Gallery, the Beach Art Center welcomes you.

Welcome to **St. Petersburg Competitive Tennis!** We are all about fun and fitness — and improving our tennis skills, of course! Some of us play in leagues; others, just for fun. But we come together every week to enjoy the sport of tennis and each other's company in beautiful St. Pete! Depending on how many people show up, we'll play singles, doubles, or Australian-style (2-on-1) doubles. Most of our regular players are between the 2.0 and 5.0 skill levels, though we have a beginners night on Monday to encourage newer players to come out.  **Please note:** This is **NOT** a singles/dating/hookup group. Yes, occasionally we socialize in non-tennis settings, but unwanted social advances — on the court or via the Meetup interface — will not be tolerated and will result in immediate dismissal from the group, no exceptions! Remember, tennis is a gentlemen's (and ladies') sport — we respect our fellow players at all times, on and off the court. 

Incredible Me Institute Incorporated is a non-profit org whose mission is to offer the experience of creating Fine Art to teens, adults, seniors, who might not have the opportunity otherwise.

Our light-hearted, enjoyable workshops are intended to teach the basics of fine art while experiencing some peace in your mind and joy in your heart. Most people who come to our classes take up painting as a life long hobby, making new friends along the way.

You should call the museum 727-724-1562 and reserve your seat.

See us on Facebook for years of painting classes - lots of fun! I also offer painting parties for your favorite charity; which is a pretty involved project, but if you're interested in that ask!

The museum classes are $25 and include materials except the canvas. Are usually use 16 x 20 but you’re welcome to bring 11 x 14 if you prefer a smaller one. The sailboat I recommended 10 x 20 inch so we could stand it up tall.

Sincerely,

Caroline Brown

ps - sorry about the BIG sideways logo LOL - I can't get it to delete.

**Calling all Native New Yorkers** \- and we don't just mean just the 5 boroughs\, wherever you lived in New York state\. If you have fond memories from there and want to hear a familiar accent\, share laughs\, memories and fondness for things that just didn't travel down I\-95 with you \(good food\, good shows and friends\, fun cruises and more\) or just want to explore your new surroundings with those who "get" your wit and sense of humor\, then this is the group for you\.   **Membership Requirements and Policies**   We set **no age restrictions**. Our members are 45 and up and are a mixture of singles and couples.   **To join**, for security & recognition purposes, please post a photo of yourself; the Brooklyn Bridge or your pet is not acceptable. New members will not be approved without a recognizable photo and valid email contact information. Please complete the profile questions and agree to the policies and await acceptance.   Our events are primarily located in the local tri city area, St Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa.   Although Meetup does charge an annual fee, **our group does not charge** members annual dues. Some members do occasionally voluntarily donate funds to help cover costs of running our group and this is greatly appreciated.   Please **RSVP** for a meetup only if you are responding “Yes” (A “No” response is not necessary, as it is implied by not responding).  RSVP deadlines vary for each event and are determined by the event organizer based on the venue management requirements. Anyone who responds to an event after the deadline or after the maximum number of attendees is reached will be placed on a “wait list”. We ask that you be respectful and considerate toward those on the wait list by cancelling or updating your “No” response or updating your number of guests attending no later than 48 hours prior to the event. Late cancellations will be considered a **“No Show**”.  Any member with two or more “No Shows” will be removed from the group.   All members are **expected to conduct themselves appropriately,** in a manner that represents the positive, friendly spirit of the group. This applies to conduct toward other members and event staff, both at events and online.   **Deposits** are requested for shows and for other large events. We have begun requesting deposits for some restaurants for dinner reservations. This is due to the fact that more and more restaurants have started requiring a guaranteed minimum number of attendees or minimum dollar amount for large groups. If a deposit is required for a dinner event, you will be asked to mail your check promptly to the organizer.  Checks will be held until the event, at which time, the deposit will be returned to the attendees. If you have paid your deposit and updated your RSVP to “No” by the deadline, arrangement will be made to refund your deposit.   Please carefully read event details and requirements before responding to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings. If you have any questions about an event, please feel free to contact the event organizer.  Arlyne is the primary organizer for our group and there are currently seven additional co-organizers.    **To remain an active member**, we ask that you attend at least 2 events per year. If you no longer wish to be a member, we request that you be considerate and remove your profile from our meetup group.   We are a fun-loving group of NYERs and we welcome new members with open arms. All members are encouraged to make suggestions for future events related their own experiences, interests or hobbies. Please contact Arlyne or other organizer, if you have a suggestion. If you would like to host an event, you can choose the activity, the location and time. Simply contact Arlyne, so she can insure there is not a conflict and set you up as a host on meetup. The more suggestions and hosts we have, the greater the variety of event types and venues, the better for all.

Life is too short, so let's get out & enjoy the heck out of it while we're still here! \*\*\*ATTENTION\*\*\* In order for all to have a good experience with this group, I ask that you please follow these 3 Rules: RULE #1 Please give at least 24 hours when changing your R.S.V.P. from "going" to "not going". I understand "Life" happens, but ask that you please RSVP responsibly. As I mentioned above, I truly understand "Life" happens. However, if you become a repeat offender you risk being removed from the group permanently. RULE #2 Please understand that if you are a NO SHOW, unfortunately you may be in risk of being removed from the group permanently. This will not be done immediately. A message will go out to all 1st time NO SHOWS after the event ends where you will be given a chance to communicate your reasons. Upon the 2nd NO SHOW, you risk permanent removal from the group. So, please plan accordingly & remember to update your R.S.V.P. immediately (at least 24 hours) whenever you find a conflict in your schedule. I totally understand things happen & life doesn't always go as planned. Please respect your Hosts by messaging us or updating your RSVPs. Thank you! RULE #3 There are no +1's to our events, unless 24-48 hrs prior to the event start time & space is available. Please gain host's approval before bringing any guest. It is highly recommended to avoid having this issue of bringing your friends by sharing our link for them to join our fun all the time 😀 PLEASE BE AWARE: This is a PRIVATE, BY INVITATION ONLY, group. In order to participate you must be up-to-date on your Membership. The Membership fee is $12/yr with a 60 day free trial period. You will be charged on your 3rd month for $12 & renewing upon each following anniversary year thereafter, until canceled. I am hoping you'll feel the Membership fee is small compared to the friendships that are made, fun times experienced & memories created for you! There is no pressure in staying with the group, but I hope you do! Thank you & I look forward to meeting you!

It's no fun to root for your team alone. Let's socialize together and watch the games in sports bars, at house parties or anywhere else that has the game on.
