1 DecoFlorist Newsletter March 2009 Page 1 DecoFLORIST Floral Supplies, Home Decor Products, Unique Rocks and Huge Huge Pots Volume 3, Issue 03 - March 2009 Florist of the Month: Katherine's Florist Michelle and her husband bought this fl orist last August in Clermont. They are from England and I just love hearing them talk with that British accent! You get a feeling of Home when you walk onto the front porch and then into the gift shop area. They have done a lot with the place. Michelle was a teacher of Floral Design back home and has taught more than 3000 students. She misses teaching and is planning to start it up right there in her own fl orist. Last month Michelle and her husband joined the Central Florida Florist Association (CFFA) and attended the February meeting. I feel that she will be a valuable asset to the association. She already gave us some good ideas for our updated website. Katherine s Florist is located at th Street in Clermont, Florida. Their website is Kim

5 DecoFlorist Newsletter March 2009 Page 5 Central Florida Florist Association (CFFA) The February meeting at Westside Technical School was such a relaxing good time for us all! Karin Wilkerson who teaches Floral Design & Management at the school made all the arrangements for the evening. It started with a wonderful buffet style dinner by the culinary department. Then, we had a chair massage by the massage therapy department. WOW was that ever a treat! We held a small meeting while Karin picked four volunteers for a contest called Back in Time with an old/new look with four different wedding pieces. The evening was a real joy. Thank you Karin for all you did to make the evening a successful fun time!! Kim
