Message From The President

Hello TPOC Members,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Most of us would describe 2020 as one of the most difficult years in modern times – a global pandemic, national economic decline, racial tension, and political divisiveness fueled by a presidential election many of you decided not to let defeat you. As a positive diversion, I understand some of you decided to tackle those long ignored projects, some started writing children books, or took up learning various musical instruments and I also heard many of you began new health regiments. Congratulations to each of you. You guys are an inspiration to me.

Even with all that happened in 2020, the association continued to show growth and sustainability. Thanks to each of you who hung in there with us. I am so appreciative of those of you who also continued to attend our virtual member meetings. We plan to continue with these monthly meetings, so keep your eyes posted for the information you will receive.

Our first special guest of the new year will be representatives from Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. They will be sharing their new products including the second phase or their RCL CARES Pay It Forward Program. The first meeting is scheduled for January 21^st, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. It is especially important that we support these sessions and the individuals that take the time to present their various products or share important information. Looking forward to seeing each of you on the calls.

The upcoming TPOC conference is still scheduled for May 15 – 23, with the pre-conference set to convene in Miami May 13 – 15. Detailed information will be forwarded within the next few weeks as we continue to converse with the cruise line, hotel staff and other participating vendors.

So, on behalf of the entire board of directors we hope 2021 brings you a year filled with great health, success, prosperity, and joy.

MIND MESSAGE: Before you talk, listen. Before you react, think. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try again.
