Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 (5 oz.) boneless Arctic Char fillets
7 Tbsp. bottled ginger soy dressing
Salt & Pepper to taste

Executively Speaking

As summertime gets underway, I am happy to report some exciting new developments. First of all we would like to welcome Janelle Espinosa and Rhonda McNiel to our Board of
Directors. Both Janelle and Rhonda will be a tremendous asset to FHA. Get to know them on page 6 of the newsletter.

We have been working endlessly on the planning of the 27th Annual Family Education Symposium. We’ve moved to a new venue! This year’s symposium will take place at the Embassy Suites in Boca Raton. By now you
should have received the registration forms in the mail. If you plan on attending, please return the forms along with a check to us by June 18, as space is limited.

In addition to the symposium, also planned is the 2nd Women’s Wellness Retreat on June 12 that will include education sessions by Dr. Joanna Davis, University of Miami, and CSL Behring, as well as yoga, relaxation
techniques and a light lunch. Please call us to reserve your spot. Once again, we will be offering two “Swim with the Dolphins” sessions on June 18, and July 16 in Key Largo. You won’t want to miss out on this unique experience.

And finally, we welcome everyone to get involved in the chapter. I encourage all of you to volunteer in any capacity that you can. We need volunteer committee members for our first WALK and the Swing for the Kids Golf Tournament. Your participation will help make these events successful. Please call today to find out how you can help 888.880.8330.

I look forward to seeing you at our next event.

See you soon,
Debbi Adamkin
FHA Executive Director
