| President's Message I
just returned from the scholarship committee’s selection of our new
scholarship recipients. We had 35 applications to review, all with a
unique story to tell. At the last Board meeting, we decided to
increase the number of scholarships awarded to 10 this year, at a
$1,000.00 each. Even with 10 scholarships, the process was difficult, as
we had many deserving recipients. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to
our fearless leader, Jillian Krueger-Printz, and the committee that has
served so faithfully for many years of Tracy Carroll, Catalina Avalos,
Ivette Sanchez, and Barbara Van Voast. You ladies truly embody the
spirit and heart of our wonderful organization.
Holly Moody President 2016-2017
Meeting Information
Carol Henderson Carol Henderson of Brightline will tell us about building a brilliant new way to travel Southeast Florida Brightline,
the only privately-funded express passenger rail system in the country,
is within months of its much-anticipated service launch, marking the
first time a new private infrastructure passenger rail project will
initiate operations in the US in more than 100 years. On March 10th, the
company announced projected timing for the pre-launch and initial
introduction of the hospitality-focused service, providing a needed
alternative to South Florida’s congested roadways. Introductory express
service will begin between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale in late
July, followed by service to Miami in late August. The company is
anticipating a grand opening and official launch of the train service in
September.
