We think Elizabeth loves her new gold bracelet. It will be a remembrance of how much we appreciate her service to our IFDA Florida Chapter.
We share a toast of bubbly to welcome in the New Year and the new board.
We make sure everyone gets in on the clinking of the glasses.
Then it is back to business as our new President Marsha Koch presides over the balance of the meeting.
We have so many exciting plans for the new year starting with a brainstorming session with Mike Peterson of Luxe Magazine and a Cocktails and Connections hosted by Chapter Sponsor Hessler Paint and Decorating.
We also offer congratulations to Caroline Rogow for her new position on our National Board as Chairman of The Education Foundation and to Laurie Planamento as Treasurer Elect of the IFDA National Board!
We wish much success to our outgoing President Elizabeth as she embarks on a new and exciting career opportunity!
Wishing you all an abundance of Good Health, Prosperity and Peace in the year to come.
Happy New Year!
