MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Hello
A wild few months we have had here recently. The holidays are rapidly approaching and with myself just returning from a trip to Cyprus the days are flying by.
This month's message has been prepared to give everyone an update on the AGA meeting in Thailand that Kiki Williamson attended on behalf of the Florida Interline Club.
Rumor has it Kiki took 695 photos on her flight across many continents, however as space is restricted we can only share a few with you for now. She is preparing an album and we shall get the chance to see all them on our get togethers.
There are many beautiful packages from all the clubs. I suggest you check them out on our WACA page and let us know where you want to go. Remember that you have to be approved by the Florida Interline Club in order to join any of these events.
We wish to say a farewell to Ellie Masters and wish her all the best. We also wish to welcome our new RVP Elaine Miller of the Calgary Interline Club.
Yours in
Interlining,
