Volunteering for the Winter Meeting wasn’t all hard work, though. We had some fun too! Our very own past president, Mike Dillard, organized and emceed a Wii tournament featuring Society’s executive committee. It may be the only time in history that vice presidents punched each other, knocked each other out and had an audience to cheer them on. We also hosted a hurricane party with over 600 attendees! The hurricane was so strong that it actually removed all of the decorations from the room.

Now that the international conference is in the past, it is time to refocus on our chapter. We still have many, many events coming and somehow we even twisted Gordon Holness’s arm to come back to Central Florida and present his presidential message, “Sustaining our Future by Rebuilding Our Past”. We’re honored to have President Holness back in Orlando and look forward to this exciting meeting.
Have you gotten your dodgeball team together? There is nothing better than getting a bunch of engineers, contractors and manufacturers’ reps. together for some good YEA type fun. You can be guaranteed that one team will over analyze everything, another will tell you how they could’ve done it better and the last will tell you why theirs is better than all the others. So grab your balls and get your team together!
Not too long after the Dodgeball Tournament, we will be having our 8th Annual Shrimp Boil. We return to the Winter Park Farmers’ Market on Thursday, March 25th for more shrimp, drinks and good times! More information will be out soon.
See you on February 9th!
