Regional Conference to be held on February 3, 2007 in Tallahassee
The big news from the Endowment Board this quarter is the progress being made in planning the FCSS Regional Conference to be held February 3rd, 2007 at Tallahassee Community College.  Chairperson Sally Day and committee members Dr. Terry Trimble, Dr. Randy Felton, Laura Snow, Teresa Murphy, Fred Dorsett and Fran Holleran have been working to create a first-class conference for educators in the Panhandle.  The registration fee includes a six month trial FCSS membership.  Many exhibitors will be on hand and our request for presentations as exceeded our expectations.  The day is scheduled to begin at 8:00 A.M. and will end with door prizes at 3:00 P.M.  Mark your calendars now for what will truly be a rewarding experience!
