BREAKING NEWS…..
TAMPA PRIDE Receives 501 c(3) Status
Great news arrived Tuesday for the new locally formed TAMPA PRIDE Committee. Sometimes getting a letter from the IRS isn’t good news but in this case it was a very jubilant correspondence. TAMPA PRIDE received the letter granting the organization an IRS 501 c(3) recognition as a non profit that has its contributions and donations given 100% tax deductibility from its donors & sponsors. TAMPA PRIDE is proudly partnering with over a dozen Tampa Bay area non profit organizations for the upcoming festivities.
TAMPA PRIDE Parade and Festival is set for March 26-29, 2015 in historic GaYBOR/ Ybor City. Other events will be held prior for fundraising benefits including a variety of Dine Out for TAMPA PRIDE events held at restaurants in Tampa Bay. Also a couple of Hamburger Mary’s BINGO, Ybor City Wine Bar Sampling Benefit and area gay & straight bars & clubs having a variety of TAMPA PRIDE charity benefits.
Get involved with the upcoming historical TAMPA PRIDE or talk with your organization or company about being a sponsor of the 14 year absent Tampa Bay GLBT event. Download a sponsorship packet for companies or individuals, parade & available vendor info.

Transylvania Romania
Every Halloween when people hear Transylvania. People think about Dracula. Actually Transylvania is an historic region, like a county, in the center of Romania. Directly to the West is the region of Banat Romania. This is where our family is from. The towns name is Sannicolau Mare, which translates into Saint Nicholas the Great. A documentary film called “A Thousand Dollars and Back” Recollections of Early Romanian Immigration to Minnesota.” was just released. In this film there are 8 photos from our family.
This would make the perfect Holiday gift for anyone with roots in Romania. This one-hour documentary, narrated by Don Shelby, is the result of a collaboration between Heritage Organization of Romanian Americas in Minnesota (HORA) and Romanian Genealogy Society (RGS), and funded by two Minnesota Legacy Grants from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
Find the preview “trailer” and more details at the project website, www.romanianimmigration.wordpress.com.

1st Annual Krewe of Italia Bocce Tourny
The balls on the ends were set. The ‘jack’ (ball) was tossed. The long green playing bordered 90′ regulated lanes were green. The 24 competing ball bowling teams all widened their eyes for the start of the 1st Annual Krewe of Italia Bocce Ball Tournament.
Bocce ball has grown in activity over the years in Ybor City. The ball game has a pretty constant set of rules to follow. There are a couple of big annual community sponsored Bocce tournaments in the area and especially at Ybor City Italian Festivals. The newly created Krewe of Italia Bocce tournament hopes to increase the game resurgence to younger audiences. This is a game that was known to have started back in the Roman Empire days. A very popular outside bowling competitive game that is played in many European countries and our own Ybor City!
This years 1st celebrity winning annual Bocce event team was the Outpost Tap House.
Congratulations Watermark Magazine 20th Anniversary
On a beautiful Wednesday night, a large group of friends gather to celebrate Watermark’s 20th Anniversary. The festive anniversary party was at the downtown Tampa’s Crumb & Cork. Longtime friend and publisher Tom Dyer was in his glory. Tampa Bay resident and Watermark Editor, Steve Blanchard and all the Orlando staff were there greeting all the guests.
There were favorite magazine covers thru out the room on large poster boards. In the center of the room there was a large screen with 2 projectors showing photos from the past 20 years. 20 years ago MC Film had a video section inside Rainbow City in Orlando. This section was called “The MC Film Neighborhood Video Store. ( There was also one in St. Pete inside Affinity Book Store.)
The owner at Rainbow City Peter, excitedly told us about a new magazine coming called Watermark! He said the new publisher Tom Dyer an attorney in Orlando was in the store and introduced us to him.
Over the next 20 years we have had a great relationship with Watermark. Cheers to a great group of people writing about GLBT issues, acknowledgements and area news.
We are proud to Congratulate our news writing friends!
