Saturday Morning

Here we are...haven't started, but took 20 minutes to get wireless access. Now I'll be all set. Will send the address out for those who are interested. Feel free to share it.

People were selected to come from all over the state...N, S, E, W...
Nancy, Pauline, Po, Kristie, Lynn, John L, Kathy, Marsha, Karen, C David, Kristine, Darryl, Norma, Kathy Hobbs, Theresa, me, Sylvia, Kris, Gordon, Michael, Kate..
so in essence, all corners are covered with an informed MDE.

Spending time with introductions and finding out what people are doing...this part of the agenda was to end at 8:30.

Lots of changes coming up and will be shared!

TAR- 2 week deadline, must be done for travel etc. BEFORE travel in order to get reimbursed. USF and Kris will take care of it. Cars rented cost ends up around $22/day so much better than using own car. When pcard is used, we will have conf. numbers, if a PO is used, then no conf. #. Contact Kris for travel.

USF on a budget, there will be additional MDE's working this summer-not just us...okay!

Summer Training:
* numbers are not in...1 MDE to 12 participants will be the rough ratio.
* some beginner and some advanced institutes
* institutes limited to 100 people
* June 15 Gainesville, Gulf
* June 22 Polk USF facility in Lakeland
* July 13 Pensacola, Okaloosa (40 people)
* July 21 Orlando
* July 27 Collier
* August4 Tampa
If they can't travel, the program will travel to them.

Workshops listed on the web site may not happen with the numbers. Advertise the
workshops. MDE's may be asked to come in and teach a workshop. MDE's may be viewing assets.
