Your officers are excited to begin the new year with you. We just had the installation at the summer meeting in Daytona Beach.  We have planted our seeds and are about to sprout.  With the input from our members we can grow and nourish each other.  Then these sprouts and buds blossom to make a beautiful garden.  This was the theme of the installation, planting seeds to grow and nourish.  FCORN can be looked at in the same way.  The officers and board as we grow together build on each other and develop a foundation for further growth.  This growth helps us blossom and as we blossom and work together we develop a fine, working team, the garden.  Join us and help us grow.

The FCORN council is very busy and we want to keep you up to date on what is happening. 

Please browse the website.  It has been kept up to date by our web-mistresses and has a lot of important information for your review.  All of the council officers, board of directors, nominating committee and committee chairs are listed with contact information, so please contact them for input into your organization. 

We have a lot of fun and interesting activities that are coming up.  The details are also listed here.  Look for information on our cruise in October, the FCORN Congress dinner in Denver, the summer meeting in June 2010 in Naples and the FCORN Board sponsored meeting in the fall in Tallahassee.  You are fortunate to automatically be a member of the Florida Council, just by being a Florida Chapter member.  Take advantage of it. 

I look forward to serving you this year, so please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything I can do for you.  I can be reached at work; (239) 263-3863, home: (239) 514-1385 or cell: (239) 537-2945. 

Sincerely,
