WaterSafe arrived at the meeting in August with a few of their Board Members and presented the Chapter with a recognition award for our local donations to their mission! Their organization is a volunteer run organization providing hundreds of swim lessons to those in need. Our Chapter is so thankful to donate to them, to have them as members and now friends! And congrats to Brielle for graduating from UCF!

Thank you to Candice Lucas, Lo-Chlor, for hosting our meeting. As always, Candice gave an educational and vibrant presentation on chemicals and cleaning pools. We appreciate all your support, Candice!

We are looking for new committee and Board members for the events coming up this year still like the Golf Tournament (10/28), the Holiday Casino Party (Date 12/13 or TBD), and the 2023 Board year. If you are interested, please let Diane know.

Let your employees and other members know that on Tuesday, September 13 at our Chapter Meeting, FSPA Senior Director of Government Affairs Dallas Thiessen will be providing a CE course. This meeting will include the FBC Advanced Module: 2020 Swimming Pool Updates (CILB course #0613859, 1 hr., meets Business Practices, FPSA d/b/a FSPA CILB providership #0000917). Members are free and nonmembers are $35.

Because we will host our Annual Golf Tournament on October 28 at Halifax Plantation, we won't be having a Chapter meeting that month. Please update your calendars and save the date for this year's Tournament! Sponsorship and team registration has been sent to Chapter members and supporters.

Know someone who needs swim lessons? Be sure to tell your circle of friends that WaterSafe, our local non-profit which provides free swim lessons, is here. If you know anyone who needs free swim lessons –
please direct them to WaterSafe. If you want to donate to the program – please talk to the Chapter as there are matching funds possibly available to maximize the efforts! Thank you for helping us spread the word about this amazing local program;

All meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30 p.m. –
8:00 p.m. at Houligans, 1725 W International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, unless otherwise stated. Dinner cost is $30 for future members. Please be sure to bring a guest! Guests are welcome to attend two meetings prior to joining. Your Board has decided to go with a hybrid approach to this year's meetings and events. If you want to sponsor or volunteer for 2023, please let Di know!
