SunriseJekyll2010.jpgGPA SUMMER CONFERENCE 2012

GPA Summer 2012 -August 22-24, 2012will be held at Villas by the Sea at Jekyll Island, Georgia.  We are hoping to have a great crowd so be sure to get your registration and reservations made early - don't get left behind.  The theme for the conference will be "We Make a Difference".

Don't forget about our Ad Sales and Membership Drive - if we get $10,000 in ads, President Mullis will be donning a mini-skirt and fishnets at the dance, $20,000 will get Director Stan Cooper into the dunking booth (and if that happens, we will also have some more chances to dunk some more management into the drink), $30,000 will get Assistant Commissioner Tim Ward into the dunking booth and if we get $40,000 and 500 members we will (hopefully) get the Commissioner or his designee into the booth.   

On Wednesday, August  22, 2012 - Registration will begin at 2:00 p.m.  The Business Meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m.  Followed by Reception/Social Hour to catch up with your friends.  The dance will begin at 8:00 p.m. - the theme for the dance will be "Pirates Return to Jekyll", there will be a costume contest so channel your best Jack Sparrow.

On Thursday, August 23, 2012 - The Conference will kick off at 8:30 a.m., details are still in the works but we promise it will be an exciting and fun conference.  Thursday Night for social hour and dinner will be a Tailgate Party so pull out your Tailgate Gear and show your colors for your teams.  If you have any tailgate games bring them with you. 

On Friday, August 24, 2012 - the Conference will conclude with a special speaker and awards given.  Attached are the forms needed to nominate for the Impact Award and Lee Broome Award; and forms to apply for the Joe Williams Scholarship and the Spouse/Child Scholarship.  Please make sure you have them in the mail by the deadlines for each one.

GEORGIA SHERIFF YOUTH HOMES

We are once again challenging you to help us help the GEORGIA SHERIFF YOUTH HOMES!  For summer conference we will be collectring Laundry Detergent (Powder or Liquid)  and Dishwashing Detergent (not dishwasher, they don't have one) . 

Our goal is to collect 1000 containers of Laundry Detergent and 1000 Bottles of Dishwashing Detergent.    We hope to have to go and rent a U-Haul to get it back to the Youth Homes!    Of course, monetary donations are always welcome - make checks payable to the Georgia Sheriff Youth Homes (it is tax deductible) - so we will have a goal of $1000 (just to keep things balanced).

 

 

RESOURCES 

This was sent out on Groupwise within the Department of Corrections  but I thought it would be good to put here on our website.  It is the website that the DEA has Resource for Drug Information/Research - www.justice.gov/dea/concern/concern.htm

It helps to identify drugs and more information. 

Hope you find it interesting.
