This just in from the Bears (BOTOP)
Howdy folks!
It's May, can you believe it? It seems like only yesterday we were ringing in the new year and then celebrating with our brothers at Fiesta!
But spring is here and this week we'll be in the 90's for the first time this year (the latest that's happened in decades) and with that warmer weather comes even more opportunities for socializing in the Arizona sun.
Speaking of social events - After over two years at Raging Sage we've outgrown the space and are moving to a new venue for Bear Coffee starting this Wednesday, May 5th we'll be holding Bear Coffee at SKYBAR at 536 N. 4th Ave!
SKYBAR operates as a caf� by day and a bar by night with the full menu from their sister establishment, Brooklyn Pizza available next door! $1.50 latte's and $1.00 coffees and teas are available day and night in their large and friendly space. Look for the guys either on the patio to the north or in the sofa's near the pool tables and we'll see you there! Questions? Give Member At Large Rick Martin a ring at: 520-668-4538 or drop him a line at: cacowboy90@hotmail. com
Here's the details!
Wednesday, May 5 7:00pm, Bear Coffee at Sky Bar: 7pm - 9pm 536 N. 4th Ave, Tucson, AZ 85705 (map)
Join us for great java and warm guys. It's a great way to meet and socialize with your local bears! Everyone is welcome! We'll meet at Sky Bar - a great venue on 4th Avenue just north of downtown (adjacent to Brooklyn Pizza). Sky Bar features tasty and cheap coffee, and the full Brooklyn Pizza menu, all in an astronomy themed setting. Look for the Bears on either the patio to the north of the building or along the sofas and we'll see you there! Questions? Contact President Kevin Jackson at: 520-904-4714 or sonoranbear@ gmail.com
