COTS
Chapter Officer Training School (COTS)
We have a 'great package' of information and instruction for our Sunshine Chapters and it's time for each Chapter to register their 2008 new officers for COTS on January 5-6. The District is providing an outstanding teaching staff. See the Faculty list below. Good food, excellent rooms, and outstanding entertainment are always the 'norm.' Watch this space for information on who will be there to perform for the afterglow.
To register, please contact Michael Richardson, Sunshine COTS Coordinator at choruspresident@yahoo.com or via phone at 407-888-8513.
