President’s Message President Jordan Lee, Utility Service Company As I’m writing this, Hurricane Irma is barreling down on the keys. I pray that everyone comes out unscathed, that there is minimal damage, and that life gets back to normal quickly. Let’s take this event to get stronger-not only as an association, but as people. Let’s pitch in to help each other, I’m sure there will be plenty of work getting things back to normal as we know it. We aren’t just members of an association, we are friends and families. I was told a quote a while back that pretty well sums everything up. There are three parts of your life, that’s it. Just three-you, your family, and work. For reference, that sentence is the only time you come first. Your work and family always come before you and they are interchangeable. Without a good family life you can’t have a good work life. Without a good work life you can’t have a good family life. There will be times where you have to focus on your family and that is perfectly fine. When your family is good, you have to focus on your work life. When the stars align and your family is good, and work is good, you get that one hour where you can put your self first. I’ll admit that I don’t get that often but when I do I try to sneak out at night, put my little panga boat in the water and go floundering, throw a fly or lure at the lights, or just sit there and admire the life I’m lucky enough to live. I hope you can find the same peace of mind once in a while. sure this family of an association will be there for you. We strive as a team, and I guarantee this team will rally around its mem bers when they need help. If you know of anyone needing assistance, please call, send an email or message. We will be there for you. On a side note, please remember to sign up for the 2017 President’s Cup, Texas Hold ‘Em, & Board Meetings being held on September 28th & September 29th at the Renaissance World Golf Village in St. Augustine. I hope to see you there! • • • Please check in on your friends family and coworkers.
