Club Meetings: Meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of each Month at 7PM at St. Joseph’s Hospital at 3001 W. Martin Luther King Avenue. This is near the Raymond James Stadium.

We gather in the cafeteria around 6:30pm to eat , food is good and also inexpensive and to chat before starting the meeting in the Medical Arts Building. So arrive early and look for us in the cafeteria. Look for the animated people and HT’s.
