I want to take this time to thank the membership for giving me the opportunity to serve as your 2010 & 2011 President. I also must thank the other officers and board members which I served. Serving on the board is a fulfilling experience I hope many members will seriously consider. It is an opportunity to associate with many professionals from different organizations and keep COSA in the forefront. Serving did not come without challenges. COSA has reached out several times to expand the membership to include more service agencies. This challenge is passed to you, the membership. It was a privilege to serve the membership and I call upon all members to recognize the officers and board members, who voluntarily donate their time to bring knowledge and fellowship to St. Lucie County. While leaders provide direction, it takes many, working together, to reach the destination. I wish COSA the best in 2012!

Calling all volunteers! Zion’s Daughters of Distinction

Ministries is looking for you!

“Through faith, Teresa Farnell began Zion’s Daughters of

Distinction… to help youth, women and their families to

develop their full potential as persons (spiritually, mentally,

physically, emotionally, and socially) prepared to minister in

their homes and abroad. Teresa started out teaching the

women every second, Sunday night of each month and

counseled women spiritually as needed, which has now

branched out into a network of teaching, and counseling all

over the world. The ministry now has spread beyond youth

and women and has attracted men as well.”

“A person's true wealth is the good

he or she does in the world.”
