Florida Interline Club News

MAY 2004    

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

 

Hello Interliners ,

 

I cannot believe that already a month passed by since my last newsletter to you.

 

Our VP Ellie Masters chaired our regional meeting in Detroit.  Many topics were discussed for the survival of WACA. The airline industry is playing havoc with the bread and butter of every interliner. Whether you are employed or retired you have been affected with the world situation. Our Region with the addition of New York and Florida Interline Clubs has 16 clubs.

 

Our meeting of May 12 went well., The four-day 2005 package is at its final stages. We have sent the membership cards to WACA Headquarters for the raffle. We decided to have something different for our next meeting June 24th.  If you wish to bring a dish please let us know.

 

We met with some of our members at Kahunaville restaurant. It was fun meeting new faces. We have four news members.

 

If you would like to recommend a fun evening, weekend, get away or have your airline sponsor an event please let us know. If you would like to provide a service to our members we will promote it on our website free of charge.

 

Visit our website often for updates, discounts and events.  Feel free to contact us either by email, mail or telephone.

 

 

Yours in Interlining,

 

Poppy  Shiakalli Bowen

Also in the event calendar on the web site you will find the following information:-
