LabaskyGeneral CounselCOMMITTEEHan. Melanie BoydBay CountyHon. Terry VaughanBradford CountyWhen the calendar project was proposed at the summer conference, it wasmet with overwhelming enthusiasm. But when the final opportunity came forcounties to place their orders, many counties cut their orders dramatically.Because of the commitment made to the printer, the full number of calendarswas printed, with the idea that the Association would find others to purchasethe remainder. Even so, each Supervisor is still going to receive 100 calendarsat no cost, and they will be distributed at the mid-winter conference in January.Hon. Fred GaleyBrevard CountyHon.

FLAGLER COLLEGEIn March, 1999, David Kazmierski, a visiting instructor for the Graphics Design II class with Flagler College, invited Penny Halyburton, Supervisorof Elections for St. Johns County, to explain the FSASE Get Out The Vote Committee statewide poster contest to his students. Ms. Halyburtonexplained that tile committee was seeking election-related logos and slogans which would be easily recognized by state residents as a reminder to vote inthe 2000 elections. The plan was outlined for using the logos and slogans on billboards, bumper stickers and other election materials.The students expressed a great deal of interest in the project and were anxious to get started. The GOTV Committee reviewed all the posterssubmitted from tllroughout the state and made their final selection . thus this 2000 election calendar. As you look through the calendar, we llOpeyou will sense the pride and confidence in these young people and know that our future is in their very capable hands.Flagler College is a four (4) year liberaLarts:school.located in historical St. Augustine.
