Box 142107 Gainesville, FL 32614 adfedgainesville.com November 2009 This weekend is the District conference being held in Palm Beach with strong emphasis being placed on the ADDYs. With Call for Entries and production work, the committee will need lots of help, so please contact Selena and Bobby to find out what you can do. I don’t know if you have felt the momentum but I have. Suzanne Bachus and I addressed some future Ad Fed members at the Santa Fe Graphic Design program. There was great interest in becoming interns or volunteers. We must use this energy and create future members and possibly leaders of our organization. Finally, we are about to have our joint FPRA meeting this week at Steve's Cafe. We look forward to having the time to share with our Public Relations friends. Please be sure to sign up for the luncheon November 19th at Steve's Café and remember that it begins at 11:30. See you at the luncheon! Although we are several months away from the ADDY’s, the event is already taking shape with commiee members strategizing how to make the “Best ADDYs Ever!” President's Message Derek Lyons
