Upcoming Events

Some upcoming events that we hope you'll be a part of:

Saturday, November 19--6th Annual "Walk for Love" in Viera (Brevard County)
Click here for information about this event.    It is being sponsored by the Brevard Family Partnership, and anyone who is a friend of adoption is invited to participate.  It should be a lot of fun, and several of our FSA families are planning to be in attendance.  Registration is free!

Saturday, December 10--Cocoa-Rockledge Holiday Parade
Our Florida FSA Chapter will be entering a float in this parade, and we would like to invite everyone to participate!  We will need volunteers to help decorate the float, and to walk/ride in the parade.  The bigger group we have, the better! Kids/families/friends of all ages are welcome to participate.  Stay tuned for more information.

If you know of National Adoption Month events in your area, please let us know so we can spread the word.

Hotel Information for the FSA Southeast Conference


We are getting so excited for our Southeast Regional FSA Conference, and we hope you are, too! Our line-up of speakers and presenters is top-notch. Very soon we will have a website up and running, as well as paper fliers in your mail boxes!

If you are planning to stay in Orlando during the weekend of the conference, and you need a hotel to stay in, here is some great information for you!

We have a block of rooms reserved at the Sheraton Safari (www.sheratonsafari.com).

Phone: 407-239-0444
Address: 12205 Apopka Vineland Rd., Orlando, FL 32836

The group rate is $119 a night. To reserve, call the hotel and tell the reservationist that you are with the FSA Conference. But act quickly! The rooms will be held only until May 25th, and then they will be made available to the general public.

This hotel is close to the Disney attractions, and is also on the same road as the temple and Stake Center where the conference is being held. It will be easy to navigate! Additionally, the hotel boasts "the world's longest python water slide." Sounds like a great way to unwind and have fun!
