New Year, New Job, New PR Class



2009 has started off to be a wonderful year!

NEW YEAR:
January 1, 2009 my husband and I were walking along the beach in Marco Island Florida at the Hilton Resort celebrating the New Year by soaking up some sun. Check out the link above and take the virtual tour.

Marco Island was absolutely beautiful and the white sand beaches rival those in the Caribbean. It was nice to spend the first day of the year lying on the beach, calling for the server and watching the waves roll onto the sand. Even though we were several hundred miles from home we (Jay and I) experienced an “it’s a small world” moment. Walking through the lobby I ran into a fellow JLBR member who was vacationing with her family looking for some R&R on a white sandy beach.

NEW JOB:
What a great way to begin a year – start a new job. My career experiences and the last several years of learning the inner workings of the higher education system combined with getting my associates degree helped me in obtaining a new position at the University. As of January 12th I have accepted a position as the Assistant Development Officer for the College of Arts and Letters at FAU. My first week has been exciting and incredible busy.
This weekend our College is hosting the Peaceful Mind Peaceful World Workshops, the 31st of January Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge are at our auditorium. So many things are happening at this College and there are so many ways to help that I am thrilled to go to work every morning.

NEW PR CLASS:
Welcome to another semester at VCSU – this semester I have four classes of which one I am looking forward to is Public Relations. Anyone in business these days knows the important of presenting a positive image for the company they either own or are employed. In addition to using this information for work I will be able to use this knowledge to help me with my philanthropic endeavors.
Currently I chair the JLBR Golf Classic – this new fundraiser will help raise the necessary funds for the League so that they can continue the mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. You can see the dedicated JLBR Golf Classic committee image above.
