FICS grand re-opening of the multi-cultural in Tampa

Tampa, FL: Please join us for a wonderful one-of-a kind celebration combining two events: the tenth anniversary of the Florida Institute for Community Studies (FICS) and our Grand Re-Opening of the FICS Multicultural Family Center on Friday April 27, 2012 from 4-8 PM. To add spice to our day, we have invited our Prodigy students to hold their quarterly showcase at the Grand Re-Opening. Get ready for some awesome breakdance, capoeira, drums and art. The press and public are invited to see first-hand how talented our many youth (and adults) are through the lens of Friendship. Speaking of friendship, our wonderful DJ Diamond Notes will be DJing and helping MC the event.

We are especially excited about our Proclamation and ribbon cutting ceremonies, taking place between 4:30 and 5:30 PM. Please support our donors who helped to make this day possible: Mr. Pablo Sierra and family, LazyDays Employee Foundation and Lowe’s Foundation. Our local community has been generous with donations for food and silent auction materials: Big Cat Rescue, Improv Comedy Club, Chili’s Restaurant, Starbucks, Target and Wal-Mart!

Space is still available for vendors. Call us at 813.249.8100 for more information or stop by FICS Multicultural Family, 6704 Hanley Road, Tampa FL 33634.

The Florida Institute for Community Studies (FICS) has functioned for ten years as a statewide non-profit organization working within communities to plan and create better futures. Our programming serves over two thousand people annually, ages seven to seventeen and adults. In addition to outreach services, FICS Multicultural Family Center is centrally located and offers an array of programs, mentoring/tutoring, computer access, HIV/AIDS testing, English, Spanish and Italian classes and much more.

Italian classes in Tampa went well

Just completed a 4-week Italian course in Tampa where I taught a few people to speak Italian. I really enjoyed teaching it, especially when I get kudos like the one below. And it's a great feeling to raise some money for a great organization like F.I.C.S. I'll be definitely teaching it again in the near future.
