Dear Pen Women:

Amidst this wonderful 2012 holiday season, I have given much thought as to how I can fulfill the responsibilities you have given me. Together we can excel and look forward to a wonderful New Year.

I am pleased that several branches have responded to my visiting them. If you would like a visit to your branch, please contact me at 941-778-3209 or scprice@verizon.net.

 Our Council meeting in November was very productive, as much was accomplished.  The major purpose of the meeting was discussing plans for the FSA 2013 State Conference. The three Conference Chairs, Jean Rogers, Carol Welsh and Barbara Jendrysik, are planning the conference program entitled "The Wind Beneath Our Wings.”  

 If any Members-at-Large have questions or ways they can form a communication network, please contact Prue Carrico, our 1st Vice President, at (256) 783-8621 or rtistee@aol.com.

State Outreach Chair Ronni Miller requests information on outreach projects for her column “Outreach Speaks” for the state newsletter Giving A Hoot. Send your information to Ronni via email at RMIllerWIO@aol.com or call her at 941-359-3824.

Our next council meeting will be held on Saturday June 8, 2013. Save the date, as we will be finalizing the plans for the 2013 FSA conference. Your input is welcome and necessary.

 Sylvia

Sylvia C. Price, FSA/NLAPW President
