Polk County Bloggers Meet! Part Deux.Un

March 18th, 2007 12:43 pm | by Chuck Welch

Yes, you’ve seen this before. We changed the day from Monday to Tuesday.

Polk County Bloggers are meeting Tuesday, April 3rd, at 7 p.m. This time we’re heading closer to Josh’s home, but we’re staying in the coffee shop atmosphere. This second get-together is going to be at Richard’s Fine Coffee in the Library Building at 330 Avenue A NW in Winter Haven.

It doesn’t matter how you blog: MySpace, LiveJournal, Typepad, Blogger, Polk Vision, or on your own domain; we’d like to see you there. Whether you think we should align with Orlando, Tampa, or Miami we have at lot in common here in Imperial Polk County.

PS: I promise I’m leaving my camera at home this time, Vivian.
