3 cheers to FACS

MAFCS Conference, Rochester, MN, February 7-9, 2018

I have not been personally involved with MAFCS in the past few years.  Which is a story for another day….but life does change in retirement.  

One thing that has not changed is how I feel about Family and Consumer Sciences and the good, as a community of teachers, we do for business and students.

My friend, Karen Smith, retired this past year.  She was wondering if I would like to team up with her on a committee with MAFCS.  I said, “Yes.” So, AWARDS team it is……

As I help organize the awards portion of our conference in Minnesota, I am reminded that we really are all heroes and all deserve rewards in our own way.

So let us give cheers to all of the retired Family and Consumer Professionals that work tirelessly to keep the organization a float.  Those that do the leg work to keep members involved and abreast to activities and actions inside and outside of the organization. 

AND cheers to the professionals and teachers that work full time and contribute to the organization through planning, mentoring, and holding offices in the organization.

And lastly, the teachers and professionals that work so hard to inspire others in their work place, often giving more time than they have, to keep family and consumer sciences relevant and inspiring.

If you have not received information about Minnesota’s annual Family and Consumer Sciences conference, here is a link:  It looks good and I know that the members planning this event are working hard to make it beneficial for our FACS cohorts.   http://www.mnafcs.com/2017-conference/

I hope to see you there!

With love from your retired FACS teacher,
