The 2014 Florida Mini looks like it will be in Central Florida in late March or April. We are looking at changing the format to have more talking and discussion going on, instead of just listening to a presenter. It will be informative and fun.

Don't know if I'll get to this or not, as of 3/17/2014, possibly earlier, we will no longer have internet services, so will have no way to check in on this event.
