“In Flight”

Florida State Council President’s Newsletter

February 2012

Let me bring you all up to date on what has been going on since my last newsletter. 

Hopefully all of you have recovered from the holidays and are back to meeting and planning for Leadership and Convention.  I hope to have record turnouts for both of these events. Rho Chi and Alpha Rho are working hard to insure we have a great time!   Mid-Year had awesome attendance and I am hoping this will continue for the final two meetings of the year.  Let’s get 100% participation for all chapters!  That would be fantastic and show everyone that ESA is alive and well in Florida!!!

In January we held a board meeting at the home of Julie Lentz in Wesley Chapel. Lunch was terrific and tasty!  We had great attendance and the discussions were productive.  I am excited about the direction we are heading, even though there may be some “not so popular” changes proposed.  Be sure and come to leadership for a preview of some of those changes.

Last weekend, I had the honor of attending Nu Alpha’s Annual Olde Bags Luncheon.  What a fun time it was and I am told this year was a record for individuals attending!  The Nu Alpha team did a fantastic job of organizing this event and had some great things to bid on.  I am anxious to hear what the final outcome was for money raised for the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind.  I know it will be great news! 

We now know our representatives from IC and SERC for our convention in May.  I am pleased to announce that IC Past President Jamie Atcheson and SERC 1st VP/President Elect Tammy Akins will be attending.  Please send these ladies a warm welcome from Florida!

Robin Allred, 1st VP/President Elect attended IC Leadership for incoming State Presidents just this past week and she will be giving us a message from there.  From what I hear, they had a GREAT time and I am sure that Robin will give us a very informative and humorous account of her activities.  

Make your plans now to attend Leadership in Wesley Chapel, hosted by Rho Chi.  I promise you won’t be disappointed!  The board meeting begins at 8:30, with Leadership beginning at 9:30.

Landing for now.  See you all at Leadership in March, if not before! 

With ESA Love & Enthusiasm!
