I hope you will be too, not only about the first year of our new bicentennial as a nation, but about the Bar's 1977 Convention. A new first annual meeting site is the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, Tarpon Springs, Florida. Without question, Innisbrook is one of the more beautiful resort hotel facilities in all of Florida. The golf courses are, to say the least, challenging and there are more than three of them, in fact 63 holes of golf available to the members of The Florida Bar without greens fees during the convention period. Innisbrook also boasts 13 tennis courts which also will be available without charge to lawyers, judges and their spouses during our June convention. What may be most attractive for all of us are the beautiful room accommodations. As you may know, Innisbrook consists exclusively of privately owned condominiums which are leased periodically. They are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The rates for these accommoda- tions are likewise attractive. The individual hotel room for one or two people will be $25. The club suite is $33, one-bedroom suite $43, and the two-bedroom suite which consists of a kitchen, den, parlor and two bedrooms is $68. All except the hotel rooms have a fully equipped kitchen, which will be attractive to those Bar members who wish to bring children and have the convenience of kitchen facilities for snacks and breakfasts. In addition to golf and tennis, there are many other recreational activities available. For the sailors there are sailboats, for the fishermen there are fishing boats, and for those who like to bicycle, there are bicycles. Innisbrook consists of 1,000 acres and there are 27 miles of roads and bicycle paths that await your inspection. How about tubing down the Weeki Wachee River? Nothing can be more fun on a lazy June day. The Young Lawyers Section is planning this fun for you and your family. Tubes, transportation and a box lunch will all be provided at a minimal cost. As of this moment, there will be more educational programs available to the members than ever before during any Bar convention. All of Thursday, June 16, will be allocated to sections and committees of The Florida Bar for their use in conducting individual meetings or in presenting educational seminars. Florida judges will be honored at the annual judicial luncheon and entertained by the celebrated columnist and humorist Art Buchwald on Saturday. There will be some special educational seminars for judges sponsored by the Circuit Judges Conference. Outstanding speakers from all over the nation will attend and one of these will be one of Florida's newest citizens, John McKay, coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Negotiations are underway for an outstanding entertainment program for the annual dinner Saturday evening. Some of you have been to Innisbrook. Some of you say that it is too spread out to have an annual convention. Leonard Gilbert, chairman of the convention committee, and his dedicated members have been working on the problems of transportation for more than a year. Innisbrook within the last several months has almost doubled its transportation facilities. Although you will not have an elevator at your side to go up and down to meetings, we do believe that we will have transportation readily available to you to move in any direction you wish at Innisbrook. Children will love Innisbrook. A children's program daily has been designed at a cost of $2 per child (including lunch) where the child will have supervised recreation from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. This should be attractive to many of our members with young children. Children's activities are scheduled evenings as well. In a word, you cannot afford to stay at home June 15-18, 1977. Although the convention committee recognizes that going to a new hotel facility for the annual convention is always something of a gamble, we are confident that the attitude of the Innisbrook convention staff and the dedicated work of the convention committee itself will remedy any problems that may confront us and afford us the best annual convention The Florida Bar has ever experienced. Watch for your registration form in the mail in late March and make plans to attend. I look forward enthusiastically to seeing you at the annual meeting this June. MARSHALL R. CASSEDY Executive Director VOLUME 51, NUMBER 1, JANUARY 1977 0 Q '. &
