The 2026 Florida State Convention is winding down. A couple of resolutions were passed, we voted on next years State Convention to be held in June 2027 in Fort Walton Beach, I won a few silent auction items and met some members around the area that I was able to put a face with their name. Jimmy Warden provided us some updated postal PMG news and future outlook options the organization currently has on the table for our future. I will put these items on our agenda for our local branch meeting in July to discuss and update everyone. Enjoy and sign up a non-member!
