President massage Our February meeting was hosted by Preferred Pump in Ocala where Tom Maley gave a presentation on Pentair VFDs. We appreciate the Preferred Pump team and Tom for your support of the association. The Water Well Contractor Educational Reimbursement (WATER) scholarship was presented at the February membership meeting and passed with a unanimous vote. This scholarship is specifically designed to reimburse the educational expenses of newly licensed Water Well Contractors. The WATER scholarship will be offered in addition to the existing Mona Myers Memorial scholarship.
A group attended the FGWA quarterly meeting in Panama City Beach. The meeting was informative with updates on potential regulation changes.
Join us in March as we celebrate Easter at the Majestic Oaks Ranch in Lake City.

Vice President massage I am looking forward to our next meeting . The 1st month ofSpring is here . Spring is all about new beginnings and transformations; it’s a season that symbolizes starting fresh and starting over. After months of cold temperatures that often result in many of us feeling the winter blues, spring reawakens us and our surrounding environment, bringing everything back to life. Come out and enjoy a good meal and fellowship.
