Pensacola Post<br />
April 10, 2013<br />
To: Membership, Pensacola SAME Post<br />
Happy spring! I don’t know about you, but I am glad to finally have some warm<br />
weather. With the coming <strong>of</strong> spring and the imminent summer, the post is looking for<br />
your ideas on outdoor events that we can participate in. If you have an idea for a<br />
post function that can be educational, mentoring or just a social function, send me a<br />
note and let me know about it. We’ll see if we can make it happen. Speaking <strong>of</strong><br />
events, the post recently participated in four very successful events. The first was our<br />
mentoring meeting with our UWF student chapter. We had a great turnout <strong>of</strong><br />
students and “more seasoned members” and were able to pair everyone up with a<br />
mentor. If you are interested in volunteering as a mentor or if you would like to have<br />
a mentor, please contact Wes Hamill or Dr. Laura Smith for information.<br />
On April 1 st , students from the UWF chapter participated in a “mock” interview<br />
session with Ann Boone <strong>of</strong> STOA Architects and Joe Riccio <strong>of</strong> Irby Engineering. The<br />
students gained valuable experience and help in preparing for real life job interviews.<br />
The students brought their resumes for review and participated in interview<br />
exercises. Thanks Ann and Joe for your mentoring and support <strong>of</strong> our student<br />
chapter.<br />
On April 5 th , the Pensacola post participated in a Habitat for Humanity home build.<br />
Wes Hamill organized the event that nine post members volunteered for, including<br />
five active duty members from the 325 th Civil Engineering Squadron at Tyndall AFB.<br />
Thanks to everyone who turned out for this worthwhile cause.<br />
On April 6 th , I was honored to help present the awards to the winners <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Pensacola Invitational Middle School Math Competition. Over 200 middle school<br />
students turned out at 8:00 am on a Saturday to compete in individual and team<br />
mathematics contests. As part <strong>of</strong> our outreach mission, the Pensacola post provided<br />
financial support for this competition for the third year in a row.<br />
One final note, we recently learned that our post was awarded Distinguished Post<br />
Status for 2012. Congratulations and well done to Captain Harshberger and all the<br />
board and committee members for a job well done! I’m looking forward to seeing<br />
everyone at our upcoming functions and I welcome your suggestions on how to<br />
make your post the best in the nation.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
PHC, Bob Sidoti, USN (Ret)<br />
