FPRA Lunch Meeting: Friday, October 4 at 11:30 am

Join us on Oct. 4 at our chapter’s new meeting location, Cleveland Heights Golf Club in Lakeland. The event starts at 11:30 with a 30-minute social and buffet-style lunch. Be there for a chance to win a gift basket during a complimentary raffle.

FPRA State Board President Julie Frey will visit us to install new board members and past-presidents will pass the gavel. Julie will share her vision for FPRA and speak about FPRA’s new technology platform. Chapter awards will be announced.

Meeting highlights:

• Get insight into the vision and desired outcomes for our chapter. The incoming board members met in August.
• Learn about the new set of professional development sessions. Two field trips are in the works. Hints: One trip will spin us into the Marvel Universe while the other will encourage us to “Raise the Flags!”
