Wow, what a difference a month makes.

Hurricane Ian, Florida's deadliest hurricane since 1935, has torn through the heart of Florida, laying waste to far too many and far too much. As some folks know, FSMS maintains a Disaster Relief Fund that was first established after Hurricane Andrew, and we have received a few requests from the area (Lee County) for folks in dire need of financial assistance. This Fund is not bottomless, but I am sure we can find a way to bolster it if need be. If you are in need, or if you know of someone in need, please contact the FSMS office.

I had more for this month’s President’s Message, like upcoming PSM license renewals, but this month is too solemn to reflect on that, or anything else besides getting help, in whatever form, to those who were affected, in whatever manner, by Hurricane Ian. 

I will resume my naturally long-winded diatribe next month. Until then, be safe.
