Dear Members and Friends:
It's hard to believe the summer is
almost over and we are gearing up for another exciting school year.
I hope each of you have had time to
spend the summer visiting family and friends and taking time to relax and enjoy
the blessings we all have been given.

start! We are here to serve you!
The Executive Board will be meeting
again in November, so if you have any concerns or suggestions that you would
like for us to address, please contact me at nbasford@admin.fsu.edu.
As we head into a very busy season, I
wish each of you the very best. Keeping
our theme for the year in our minds will hopefully help each of us to get through the busy months ahead.
Uncovering Our
Purpose, Power, and Passion
Take care,
Nathan
