TBA SPOUSES AND FAMILY ACTIVITIESBring your family to the TBA Convention/Clinic!

TBA is family friendly! Each year, the Spouses Board plans activities to entertain, educate, and involve family members. Drawing on the rich cultural, historical, and unique heritage of San Antonio, families can have a wonderful time while making new friends.

• NEW this year – join us for a Margarita Mixer Thursday afternoon! • The Spouses Luncheon on Friday is a longtime tradition. Friendly faces, favors,

food and fun are standard – and you can expect a few surprises this year! • Feeling creative? Join us after the Luncheon for a Painting Party! A local artist

will guide the group as we create a treasure to take home. • On Saturday, hop on our free shuttle and visit The Pearl or the fascinating and

newly renovated Witte Museum. Spend a couple of hours or all day. • Kids will enjoy some time playing at the nearby Yanaguana Park, participating

in a scavenger hunt, playing Bingo, learning about dinosaurs at The Witte, and having a blast at the Saturday evening Barbeque on the river.

• Should you need help with the little ones, complimentary childcare is provided on site throughout the conference by Kids Quest.

Simply register your spouse when you complete your own registration. Visit the TBA website for all the details and follow us on Facebook@TBAFamilies!
