Roll call. Share your pictures of Spring Nationals. Lake Gators in the house!

For Volunteer Appreciation Week, I wanted to take a moment to thank all those who volunteer for the Florida LMSC. Officials, Meet Directors, Coaches, Team Managers, Timers, Counters, Lifeguards, Significant others who sit for hours on the pool deck cheering on their loved one. Last but not least, I am thankful for my Florida LMSC Board and Committee Chairs who work hard for our members behind the scenes - I am biased when I say we have the best Board in the Country. Thank you all! --Cheryl Kupan, Florida LMSC Chair

Congratulations to everyone who attended the Rowdy Gaines meet this past weekend, braving the unusual "flurryda" weather and very cold pool deck (see below). Thank you Rowdy, Scott and Jillian for having the forethought to buy the heaters which helped a lot. Thank you Officials, Timers, Lifeguards for braving the elements. Hope everyone made it home safely and warm.

FL LMSC - please send me your team's holiday party photos! I'd love to post them on the website as well as include them in our next newsletter. Send photos to: [email protected]

Happy Holidays to you all! -- Cheryl Kupan, FL LMSC Chair
