> I am thrilled to work with our newly elected board members, as well as those who retained their previous positions. I know that 2025 is going to be a wonderful year for the Jacksonville Chapter, and you will be a huge part of why that is so.
> Before I go any further, I want to take the time to thank those who served on our board during the previous term. Russ has been our Treasurer since 2015, and his work cannot go unnoticed. His love of math and spreadsheets has kept our chapter financially sound for many years and for that he deserves our gratitude.
> Our previous Vice President, Denise Valkema has been a Federationist for many years. Her work in the Florida affiliate has helped to shape who and what we are today. Her love of the Federation, and tireless work ethic is something she can be proud of as I know we all are.
> As we look to the future, I know that it will take all of us working together to make Jacksonville one of the best cities in the U.S for blind people to live.

> Another topic we discussed at yesterday’s meeting is our November meeting. It was decided by all in attendance that on November 2 we will have a holiday party. Our meeting/party will be held once again at the Colonial Point Clubhouse. The address is 5201 Atlantic Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32207. A committee was formed to work out catering options, and I know they will come up with a wonderful meal for us. What we need from each of you is whether you will be in attendance. This will help us to plan for how much food to order. If we have to much food, then some of us will have to eat those leftovers, and we would not want that.
> If you would like to attend on November 2, at 12:30 PM please reply to this message and let us know.
> More information will be coming out as time goes by, but this will be a quick turn-around as the date is fast approaching.
> Thank you all for all that you do to make our chapter “The Greatest.” I look forward to seeing you all soon.
> Warmly
