AUSA Suncoast Chapter

On Tuesday, June 9th, our AUSA Suncoast Chapter team convened at Vino E Pasta to discuss the upcoming 251st Army Birthday. The evening featured Italian guitar music and a presentation of the evening's specials by our waiter, highlighting the culinary expertise of owner Luis Zamora and his team.

We recommend reserving a table at this family-owned restaurant, where every meal is served with love.

We honor and support our military community throughout the year. We cordially invite you to join us on Saturday, June 27 at the Downtown Tampa Hilton, where registration begins at 5:00pm.

Tickets are on Eventbrite. Please reach out to me with any questions.
