DEAr Members:

Thank you to Felix Perez who is doing an outstanding job as our Education chairman.  The meeting on June 2nd on QuickBooks was a huge success.  We not only has a grEAt spEAker, but, we also received 2 hours CPE for the same cost as 1 hour.  This may have been the largest seminar we have ever had with an attendance of 50 people. 

The FSEA convention was superb.  There were 13 Broward Chapter members who attended of which 5 were the first time.  CPE was grEAt and the Broward Chapter had fun at the annual banquet.  Next yEAr, the convention will be in Orlando.  We hope to see you there.

We will have a drawing for the IRS Forum which will be August 4-6, 2009 at the Carib Royale in Orlando.  You must be present to win.

Our website is going to have a classified section.  You can post your ads on the website –FREE OF CHARGE.  The ad will stay for 90 days.  If you need it to continue, you will need to resubmit your request.  All ads must be submitted to the president of the chapter.

SpEAking of  chapter president. I have been the chapter president for 3 yEArs. I have enjoyed the opportunity to be president, however all grEAt organizations need change.  At our July meeting, Duane Siers will be installed as the new president, Felix Perez as Vice-President, and Donna Smith as Education Chairwoman.  Karen Martin and Debbie Heyer will stay on as Secretary and TrEAsurer respectively.

A special thank you to Mike San Miguel and Howard Wechsler for their time and effort putting a new board together.  To all board members who have served with me – I could not have done it without you.  For the members who have never served on the board…you are missing a wonderful opportunity.

As always, I look forward to seeing you on July 7th, 2009.  Have a Happy and safe 4th of July and…remember to bring a collEAgue.

Joanne L. Wood, EA
President
