Moving Forward...Together at FNGLA’s Annual Convention June 23 - 25, 2011 LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort, Naples, FL FNGLA’s Annual Convention is a time each year for FNGLA members and industry friends to celebrate the past year’s success while welcoming FNGLA’s new leadership taking office. After checking in Thursday, bring the family to the Welcome Reception on Vanderbilt Bay. Held at the resort as the sun goes down, the Welcome Reception is the perfect way for all early-bird attendees and golfers to set the tone for a relaxing weekend. On Friday morning, golfers will be up early to play on the Championship Robert Cupp-designed LaPlaya Golf Course. Come see for yourself why this course is lauded for its natural beauty and often mentioned in the lists of the country’s best resort courses. Friday evening’s dinner event, Sunset Soirée, will be held along the Gulf of Mexico, making this the ideal location for dinner and watching the sunset with friends & family. A southern-style buffet will be served while you relax to the sounds of steel drums by the water. After two full days of fun in the sun, things will move indoors for FNGLA’s Annual Business Meeting on Saturday morning. This meeting is the platform for showcasing FNGLA’s 2011 Industry Award winners, as well as the induction ceremony of FNGLA’s 2011 – 2012 leaders. A membership luncheon after the meeting will allow for even more networking time and to enjoy the featured guest speaker, Mike Joyner, Assistant Commissioner/Chief of Staff for Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Saturday evening’s Presidents’ Gala, sponsored by Stallings Crop Insurance, will have you dancing until the end of the party. FNGLA members, friends and families will come together to dine, dance and honor the FNGLA Hall of Fame inductees and Wendell E. Butler award winner!
