PRESIDENTS CORNER October 2024 Hello Florida Sport Shooting Association Members, On behalf of your FSSA Directors, I want to reach out and let you know that we're keeping you and your loved ones throughout Florida in our thoughts and prayers as Hurricane Milton approaches, and the same also to our members and fellow Floridians who are recovering from Hurricane Helene. Please heed the warnings by state and local officials. Stay Safe...Be Prepared...Have a Plan...Execute the Plan If you are evacuating have a plan for all your firearms. There are plenty of good articles you can refer to. Here's one: https://floridadaily.com/securing-firearms-before-hurricane-evacuation-essential-tips-for-floridians/#google_vignette For information on safety updates, evacuation assistance, and more, please visit https://www.floridadisaster.org/disaster-updates/Hurricanemilton A special note of thanks to our first responders for being on call and helping to keep us safe through Helene and into Milton. And when Milton passes, and if you are able...there will be many who will need help, a lot of help picking up the pieces. There are numerous organizations who are helping in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Many of these same organizations coupled with new ones will be on scene and helping folks in need after Hurricane Milton passes. I encourage you to help with your time and/or with your donations. May God's protection, strength and comfort be with us, our members, and all Floridians. Ted Carter President, Florida Sport Shooting Association | RECENT NEWS UPCOMMING EVENTS
