President’s MessageI’m very proud and honored to serveas your USPTA FLORIDA DIVISIONPresident for the next two years.Not that long ago, I was asked howlong I’ve been involved in serving theFlorida Division. It’s hard to believe,but it’s been 15 years and counting.I started off as the District Presidentin the mid 90’s for the Miami/FloridaKeys district. I can still remembermy first meeting. I was so eager todisseminate and share all this good tennis information(damn near spoke for 15 minutes straight) that I completelyforgot to take a few minutes prior to the meeting and alloweveryone to introduce themselves. (Thanks to Jim Mortonfor chiming in as a friendly reminder).Tennis is an amazing sport and a vehicle for maintaininga healthy lifestyle, travelling and meeting new people.Some of my closest friends are tennis players. How luckyare we? We earn a living doing something that we trulylove! It’s not every day that you can jump on a plane at amoment’s notice, fly out to Portland, Oregon with two closefriends, watch the United States win the Davis Cup , takein a Van Halen concert (by the way I felt like I was in atime warp!) and travel across the same bridge three timesbefore finally getting off on the correct exit! (FYI…Chuckwas the driver and Louis the navigator-??)We are very fortunate to have such a talented groupof professionals serving on the Florida Division Board,donating their time, energy and efforts. Listed below arethe Board members and the Committees they will chairfor 2011-12 who will serve along with me and 20 DistrictPresidents from around the state.
