President’s Message…
Fall is in the air and so is our annual
ArkAHPERD State Convention in Eureka
Springs! I am extremely excited and look
forward to seeing each and every one of you
and of course all the new members you will
be bringing with you! I challenge each of
you to bring at least two new members
with you to attend the convention.
As usual the ArkAHPERD Board has
prepared another fabulous program to
enhance your professional development.
The interaction with colleagues and students
is always one of the highlights of the
convention. This year we have the ever-
popular Silent Auction and BINGO but
also, Karaoke/Dance will be a new addition
to the convention! Prizes will be awarded,
so, everybody prepare to SING, be
entertained and have a lot of FUN!
Please mark your calendar and make plans
to join us at the Inn of the Ozarks, in Eureka
Springs on November 5 and 6!
Looking forward in seeing you,
Sincerely,
Lynn Glover-Stanley
Executive Director’s Message…
Greetings from the ArkAHPERD home
office. It has been a pleasure to serve you
over the last year as the new Executive
Director. It has given me a chance to
connect, at a different level, to the Arkansas
community. I have enjoyed working with the
Department of Education, as well as the
Governor’s Council on Fitness and the
Arkansas Game & Fish Commission as
partners in our various fields and supporters
of our upcoming Convention.
I have had the opportunity to meet and
work with both National and Southern
District AAHPERD leaders during the
summer and am excited to bring important
items of interest back to our State. Among
those items are changes to our constitution
that must go before the General Assemble
(YOU) for a vote.
We are entering an era of excitement in
terms of growth of the ArkAHPERD Organ-
ization. I encourage you to not only attend
our November 5-6 State Convention in
Eureka Springs, but also bring a colleague
with you. I ask that you complete both the
Membership Application on page 6 and the
Convention Pre-registration form on page 3,
and return them as soon as you can. I look
forward to seeing YOU in November!!!
Sincerely,
Andy Mooneyhan
