YPI YPI and our first
Scavenger Hunt by: Leah J Norris The YPI (Young Professionals Initiative)
Florida Chapter had a GREAT turn out at the 2014 Convention in Naples! Fifteen people registered as 40 & under
on their Convention registration, so those individuals were invited to dinner on Thursday night at Doc’s Beach House
where they could network with our group, eat a good din- ner, and watch the sunset. We also started, thanks to an idea from Lisa Hinton, a Scavenger Hunt for the YPI group. In their registration pack-
L-R: Billy & Kari, entertainers and associate members; Lauren Der, FL Strawberry Festival, Stacey Wade, Central FL Fair; JD Linn, Haas & Wilkerson Ins., Albert Montes, Miami-Dade County Fair; Ismael Ramos, Miami-Dade County Fair; Miranda Muir, Osceola County Fair; Bill Olson, Greater Jacksonville Ag Fair; Jessica Johnson, St. Lucie County Fair.
ets, they received a list of pictures that needed to be taken and sent to myself. The person to finish the Hunt first won a $50 gift certificate to Outback! We are looking forward to
having another Scavenger Hunt at next year’s Conven- tion, and have already started working on the “Hunt list.” If you have any ideas, email them to leahjnor-
ris@gmail.com. Maybe your item will be listed! We are also looking for-
ward to doing more things to get more YPI’ers involved in the Federation.

YPI Fair Visits…
...The Clay County Fair and the Lake County Fair extended a special invitation to our
Young Professionals Initiative to get a double-whammy by visiting both Fairs in one day. The event took place on Saturday, April 5 and started at 10 am with the group meeting at the Clay
County Fair office for a welcome and overview of the Clay County Fair. Everyone then took off to tour the Fair on their own and returned to the office at 1:15 for lunch hosted by the Clay County Fair board. Around 2 that afternoon the group departed for the Lake County Fair meeting at the front gate at about 3 for a welcome by Happy & Leah Norris. The group toured the Fair and everyone headed home after a great FAIR DAY! A special thanks to the YPI Committee, Clay County Fair, and Lake County Fairs for making this special event possi- ble!
