CONGRATULATIONS AL GRUBMAN!

Governor Crist has appointed AL GRUBMAN — CCC 1^st Vice President and President of TOO FAR, Inc. — a Council organizational member to the Withlacoochee River Basin Board.

The Withlacoochee River Basin Board is a SWFWMD board that provides guidance to South West Florida Water Management District staff addressing the needs of the basin. The board includes portions of Citrus, Hernando, Levy, Marion, Pasco and Sumter counties.

TOO FAR and other interested groups have been trying to work closely with SWFWMD and the results have been good. This is the next step in working for more mutually beneficial results.

Al says: "Thank you to all who have helped. Special thanks to Senator Dean and Representative Schultz for their sponsorship."

We in the Council say: "Way to go, Al! Congratulations."
