Last weekend I went to the "Spring into Action" AIA Convention Kickoff party Saturday, April 27th. We had a great time and enjoyed amazing food!
The container Store invited us to start our evening at their new Grand Opening across from Millenia Mall. A portion of all the sales that weekend went to Orlando Health Foundation. Mears Transportation donated a bus to take the group to the convention Center for a food preview in preparation of hosting the 2017 AIA national Convention. The AIA had a 50/50 raffle to raise additional funds for the Orlando Health Foundation.
At the Gary Sain Cafe' in the West Concourse of the convention Center we had a delicious menu of gourmet appetizers, pasta, crab salad, prime beef, beer, wine, soda and deserts. Thank you to our event sponsors who made it a night to remember!

I have trouble climbing stairs, so it would be impossible for me to climb up into the bus, but Mears had a Wheelchair lift. When the driver said I couldn't stand on the lift, and I told him I don't have a wheelchair, he produced one from the storage compartment in the lower part of the bus. Dan took this photo of me on the lift so you can see how it works.
