Two different entrees are available for the dinner.  Baked Chicken and Roast Beef

are the choices.  Along with the entrees will be two vegetables, green beans and

mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, desert and coffee or tea.  The cash bar will remain

Always a hi lite of the banquet is the awarding of door prizes immediately

                                                            Comments from the 4th VP

            I hope all of you are enjoying your horseshoe pitching year.  I’m starting to get excited about the upcoming FSHPA State Championship Tournament and the gathering of the ‘clan’ (so to speak). I look forward to seeing everyone from the far reaches of our state. This being the 50th year anniversary of our Florida State charter makes it memorable too. 

Would you please take some time to review the suggested by-law changes that are being put forward?  Jerry Michalek and Buddy Short have volunteered to work on the By-Laws committee for you.  I know I appreciate their help very much.

I am seeking re-election as your 4th Vice President.  I have enjoyed serving and would like to continue being involved in the FSHPA. 

See you in the pits.        Vicki Marteney
