Dear Fellow FPSAA
Members,
It does not seem possible but the Florida Park Service Alumni
Association will be 20 years old this year.
I believe we have just scratched the surface on what can be done
through the benevolent efforts of the James Cook Memorial Relief Fund,
through support of the state parks and through fun and fellowship with
friends both old and new.
I recently met with
Director Mike Bullock of the Florida Park Service.
Mike reported that despite earlier news reports of state parks
having to close and the possible loss of many positions, this year’s
final budget for state parks will allow all of the state parks to remain
open with the loss of only a very few positions.
To help compensate for the tight budget this year I encourage
each of you to volunteer to support the state parks that are in your
local area.
One of the values of
our organization is to have a time of visiting with fellow Florida Park
Service members both active and retired.
I hope that all of you will join in the fellowship and fun that
our organization provides.
Larry
