Comments From First Vice President

 

 

I am declaring my candidacy for 1st Vice President of the Florida State Horseshoe Pitching Association in year 2009 and your vote for me will be very much appreciated. I have enjoyed serving as 1st Vice President for the past 12 years and feel I have contributed to the success of our organization. If re-elected this year it will be my last term serving on the Executive Council. It is time for others to consider running for this position. Currently the duties of the 1st VP is Auditing and Finance Director and other duties as assigned by the President. Thanks for you support.

 

I hope to see you all at the State Tournament this year. Please don’t forget the dress code. You must wear a shirt with your last name professionally lettered on the back. Sleeveless shirts are not permitted. Good Luck and Good Pitching.
