Dear Fellow Retiree,
We hope this letter finds everyone well. We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the founding of your IBM Tampa Bay Retiree Club in 2003 thanks to the inspiration, imitative and continued leadership of Hari Arora. We also want to thank Stu Bean, IBM Tampa Site Location Executive, and his staff for their continuing support without which we wouldn't be able to serve our IBM retiree community.
Our events earlier this year were all successful and very well received: Annual Income Tax update on March 5 presented by Doug House and Paul Houser, Day at the Races at Tampa Bay Downs on April 13, and Spring Golf Outing at Westchase Country Club on May 6.
Anniversary Picnic, October 12
To commemorate our 10th anniversary, we invite everyone to a picnic on Saturday, October 12 at beautiful Philippe Park on Tampa Bay in Safety Harbor. It's been several years since our last picnic and it will be a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones. All are welcome, so bring your friends, children and grandchildren and encourage those who would enjoy socializing with you and other IBM retirees. Also, we invite you to forward this email to others who may be interested in coming but may not receive it as it is our first email only communication. You can check out Philippe Park at http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/11_Philippe.htm The flyer, registration form, and directions for the picnic are on the Retiree Club's website www.itbrc.org at https://sites.google.com/site/itbrclub/coming-events-2 The forms are also included in this email following the letter.

Financial Seminar Tuesday, October 15
The presenter will be Eric Logphee, a financial consultant with Raymond James who teaches financial classes for retirees at USF.
Annual Medical Benefits Seminars Monday and Tuesday, November 12 & 13
