>> How exciting the convention is just a few weeks away. Below is some helpful information: Florida caucus will be: Thursday, July 5, 5:15-6:15 PM, in Suwannee 11. This is a great place to connect with Florida federationists and to connect with a chapter if you have not already. We will update you on what is happening in our affiliate since our state convention.  Please bring your raffle ticket with you to give to our treasurer, Merry Schoch. She needs your ticket   by noon on July 6th in general session. She will exchange your ticket so Florida can sit together at the banquet.
