From the computer of our President It sometimes seems that time flies and we live in a world that is speeding by and we
can’t catch up. 2013 is almost over and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Our
annual holidays and toy drive luncheon is scheduled on December 11 at the 94 th Aero
Squadron. Before we know it, it will be 2014. So before this year is over I would like to
thank our membership for their involvement in all of our activities - community service,
volunteering at schools, literacy initiatives, the pilot partnership with Miami Dade
College in identifying the deserving students for our annual scholarship, the toy drive for
grandparents raising grandchildren, and educating our legislators about what is right for
education. You have all played an active role in at least one of these activities.
We can be thankful for a great many things this year. Collectively we have
accomplished a lot, and I encourage all of you in the coming year of 2014 to continue
the momentum and double our efforts in enhancing education now and in the future.
I would also like to thank our partners who have supported us during this year. I would
like to thank Mike DiBenedetto, Pres./CEO of the South Florida the Educational Federal
Credit Union for the continuous support to an organization. The Palace Senior Living
Facilities for hosting our luncheon meetings twice a year.
As the saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun.” We would like to share our
good fortune and fun times with others. As my number one goal this year is to double
our membership, I encourage you to bring a new member to our final meeting of the
year December 11.
I wish everyone safe, happy, and healthy holidays.
