Dear Faculty & Friends:
Our Vice President Dian La Tour sends the following message for this wonderful annual event where over 100 attended including some brand new members. We welcome them and hope that guests joining us for the evening might also consider becoming Faculty & Friends Club members.

What a wonderful turnout for the annual FSU Faculty and Friends Holiday Kickoff Party at the beautiful Dorothy B. Oven Park! The weather cooperated and could not have been better!
Many thanks go out to the committee who planned and made this event happen – Dian and Charles La Tour, Diane Stuart, Barb and John Elam, and Linda and Bob Clickner. And a special thanks to our bartenders…Heather and Jayson. And thanks to everyone who provided either a sweet or a savory to share. It was a lovely evening!
Happy Holidays to everyone! Dian
