 It’s true! The
Annual NFA Convention is just around the
corner and registrations are coming in. Make
sure you are planning to be in Salt Lake
City, Utah on June 24 – June 27th for this
educational and fun-filled event. In addition to
workshops, design shows, a trade fair, and key
note addresses, you can benefit from the support
of your peers in the floral industry. If you did
not receive your registration materials in the
mail, please
contact the NFA office for forms and
information.
And don’t forget:
Early Bird Registration by February 1st
saves you $$$$. When you pay for 2 full
registrations by Feb. 1st you will receive 1

Organizational Hint of the Month!
Think you don’t have enough time?
Having a hard time getting things done?
It has been proven that 30 seconds of not
thinking about or doing anything improves your
productivity. So even though you don’t think you
have time to do it, taking 30 seconds now may
actually save you time later in the day. So sit
down in a quiet place, close your eyes and as
thoughts pop into your head, picture them on a
fluffy cloud and watch as the wind blows them
away.
Quote of the Month
“Years and years of happiness only make us realize how lucky we are to have
friends that have shared and made that happiness a reality.”
- Robert E. Frederick

market this year! Whether it is an increase in
imports, increased sales or higher numbers of
consumers saying they plan to purchase flowers,
things seem to be looking up for 2004!
