President's MessageJune 2019
Another month has gone by and it’s time to write this message again. The time is absolutely flying this year. I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day and are looking forward to Father’s Day coming up this month as well as summer vacations. May was a busy month, as they all are at this point. We started the month with our FSMS Scholarship and FSMS Board of Director’s meetings held at the Stern Learning Center located in the Austin Cary Forest just northeast of Gainesville. What a beautiful venue for this meeting. We really appreciate the University of Florida for having this facility and providing it to us. Brief highlights of these meetings:
We want to thank Dominic Levings for his contribution to our organization over the past couple of years. We wish him well in his new endeavors. At the same time, we want to welcome our new Communications Director, Laura Levine who started with us on May 20th. At this time, Dominic is working with and training her to take over his duties. Please give Laura your support and a little latitude while she acclimates herself to our organization. Stop by to say hello and introduce yourselves at the Conference. Speaking of the Conference, remember Conference registration is NOW OPEN. It’s going to be a great time in Orlando, July 24th-27th. Register for conference and get your room reserved now. Please consider sponsorship and let us know if there are Exhibitors you’d particularly like to see included in this year’s Exhibit Hall. We have an additional surprise that will complement your conference experience. We will be utilizing a Conference App for your phones which will provide schedules, who’s attending the events, potential changes to scheduled events, etc. Everything you need to know about conference will be at your fingertips. This year the app is being sponsored by KEITH so please thank Dodie Keith for giving us this opportunity to further enhance the conference experience. For all who have fathers in their lives, be they fathers, grandfathers, husbands, sons or brothers, take this special day of Father’s Day to show them how important they are and how much they mean to you. “Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” Dianne Collins |
