PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
HAPPY LABOR DAY!
What is Labor Day? Well back in the day, it used to be the day before the first day of school. You knew you had until Labor Day and then school began. Then it was a holiday that the kids did NOT get so we were able to have some peace and quiet. Those days are long gone! It is a day to acknowledge the workers of America.
As Labor Day weekend approaches, I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for each and every one of you. I am so proud to be leading an organization where every day, everyone turns up their sleeves. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and direct contributions to our growth and goals. It feels great to look back over the past year and see all we've achieved together and your support of each other. That is what makes FWPA great. So thank you for always having your sleeves rolled up. September is here and it’s time to get into gear. We’ve lofty goals for the fall, so get in those last bits of rest and relaxation before we hit the ground running. Now it’s time to put your feet up and relax! Have a great weekend everyone! See you on Tuesday!
--Michele Rayburn, CP, TBLS-BCP, FWPA PRESIDENT
