the Executive Director Dear Federation Members: A special thanks to everyone that participated in
this year’s Convention. With over 80 people participat- ing in the program (as speakers, moderators, or facili-
tators) there was a wealth of information. I hope everyone took ad- vantage of the chance to meet new people as well as getting new ide- as to take back to your Fair! Don’t forget to mark your calendar for July 27th & 28th and plan to
attend this year’s Summer Workshop. The Manatee County Fair is hosting the event and Pete Sutton and Rick Vymlatil, Co-Chairmen of the Summer Workshop program and their committee are planning a great educational session. We think you will enjoy it and learn a lot! I also want to personally thank all of you for your thoughts and pray-
ers for our family. It was difficult to leave the convention but I needed to be with my husband, my children, and our family. You all are a great group of people. You all just pitched in and
