AFABW Florida Chapter Spooktacular Showcase and Seminar
On October 30th, 2024, our AFABW Florida Chapter produced a Spooktacular Showcase and seminar at the Belleair Mission.
Guests entered the reception area as member LD Sledge embellished the room with his smooth piano playing. Then Florida Chapter Director, Richel Lavette Lewis, bewitched the attendees as the MC of the show.
She welcomed everyone and introduced the musicians that were booked by Talent Coordinator Kathy Oliver. These included Barbara Coliainni, Steve Cherubino, Karen Nelson Bell and Brian and Chiquita Blunt.
There was also an array of art on display.
Artists were then treated to a Career Seminar by AI marketing pro Tony Rockliff.
There were many successes such as:
- “I Enjoyed the presentation immensely and hope to apply these tools.”– Brian Blunt
- “Good ideas on how to market” – Kevin Johnson
- “Lots of excellent data that I want to check out further” – Bob Cetti
- “Can’t wait to try these. I feel inspired.” – Jenna Maloney
There were also many interested in becoming members and volunteers for AFABW.
