If You Missed Last Meeting…

…You missed a chance to unite with your fellow Orlando Chapter STC to kick back and share some memories of the past year. The November STC meeting was a special event held at Houlihan’s on East Colonial Drive in Orlando. While networking with others, STC members spent the evening giving thanks and relaxing. Many of us got to meet new members for the first time and were able to catch up with those we hadn’t seen in a while. We collected canned and boxed goods for a food drive and discovered what we were thankful for. Orlando Chapter STC Vice-President Debra Johnson gave each member a secret envelope at the beginning of the dinner. After a couple hours of anxiously trying to peak at what was inside, we discovered it was a fill-in-the-blank sentence. Every member took a turn reading their card out loud. Among the discoveries uncovered through this activity were member’s first crushes, favorite movies, and how we acted as a child. This was a great way for everyone to connect and learn more about each other apart from their profession. Debra also informed us about the STC-Orlando Holiday Reunion. The reunion will be held Tuesday, December 13^th, 6:30pm at the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary. Members were encouraged to inform previous STC members to join as well. Overall, the meeting was a success. We got to take a break from our busy lives to appreciate each other and the rest of the STC community.
