This past Wednesday, the Flagler SIFE team was invited to meet with Gorge Lindemann President and CEO of Standard Union at White hall, Henery M. Flagler’s Palm Beach home. Over lunch Mr. Lindemann talked with various SIFE students about the importance of being persistent in business, "If you can't get in through the front door, try the back door. If that doesn't work start looking for a window." After lunch SIFE students were able to tour the historic home of industrialist Henry Flagler, who our College is named after. It was amazing to see another beautiful Gilded Age building so much like our Ponce De Leon Hotel.
For Project News...
The team is working hard to prepare for our regional competition, which is just five weeks away.
Last night we completed filming for Suruwat and will begin editing today. We plan on distributing the video next week and are thrilled by the enthusiasm we have received thus far with this "how to" assimilation program. Suruwat is also being used as the feature story for this term's Flagler Magazine!
As for Winmark Training video, the conference presentation was amazing. Winmark staff, franchisees, and managers all loved the video. In our video survey 100% asked for additional videos! Steve Murphy, the President of Winmark, said told us that as this project evolves into a formal business we can count Winmark as our first official customer! We also chose a name for the program:T.A.P.E.D or Teaching Associates Proper Ethics Daily.
A new project that we are working on in our housing for the homeless program which will create a rehabilitation center to integrate St. Johns' County homeless back into society. The former Mayor of St. Augustine donated our initial supplies to get this program started. The project is progressing rapidly and although it will not be ready for regionals we are very excited by the community support we have received.
Thank you so much for your support of Flagler SIFE. If you have any project questions or suggestions please let us know!
Thank you,
The Flagler SIFE Team
