SPACE COAST FLORIDA CHAPTER, NAWIC Chapter Newsletter November December 2017 Volume 21, Issue 1 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION CORE PURPOSE: TO ENHANCE THE SUCCESS OF WOMEN IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. CORE VALUES: BELIEF IN OURSELVES AS WOMEN PERSEVERANCE DARE TO MOVE INTO NEW HORIZONS PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Although Hurricane Irma kind of re-arranged our schedule for the beginning and end of our traditional NAWIC year, we are all here, we made it safe and sound, and things worked out. No power (hence no air-conditioning which is probably the worst of everything), no water, no phone, no internet, trees down, flooding, etc. was a reminder that we are not in charge of Mother Nature. The installation of the 2017-2018 Officers and Directors took place on October 5 th at the Holiday Inn Express in Cocoa with Terri Hart performing the honors. Immediately following we jumped into the 21 st Annual Golf Classic. Thank you Lillian and Terri for heading up a great tournament!!!! See Lillian s report below. Coming up December 7 th, will be the Christmas Social at the Holiday Inn Express in Cocoa. Please join us and bring a friend or two! Our goal is for every member to bring at least one extra person, if not two. The more the merrier! We will be having the Gift Exchange, as well as collecting contributions for the NAWIC Holiday project to provide needed hygiene supplies to the Brevard Schools Foundation for homeless children.
