As Marilyn Monroe once said, “We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.” That says it all in our case. Everyone at FSO is a winner, and as I stated in my opening speech at the awards show, and when I gave my bow to all of you.. I could never do it without you.. we are family.. we are one FSO, and we are here to help one another.

I couldn't be prouder of each and every member of the FSO team.

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of our amazing journey.

Good Morning Folks,

Last night concluded our award ceremony for 2014.. but we cannot ever forget it.. the video will be coming out.. more pictures on their way with specifics of who won what… and hugs will never stop. 

I have a busy day but wanted to share a few photos so you can embrace the spirit of the evening. 

I am so proud of you.. certainly for the out of state folks you might not have seen, but I was choked up and tearing many times during the awards.. the winners speeches and the words spoken about our growth, our care and simply how people feel was, well hard to say.. just amazing…. Stephie kept giving me tissues.. 

CONGRATULATIONS to the WINNERS.. both the staff, the sites and HQ.

Everyone at FSO is a winner, and as I stated in my opening speech and when I gave my bow to all of you.. I could never do it without you.. we are family.. we are one FSO, and we are here to help one another.

More to come in the next day or so from marketing to announce all our winners properly. Check back here next Wednesday where your Shout Outs will be dedicated to the winners and a video of the event should be ready to post.

THANK YOU.. thank you for your efforts.. thank you for the care.. thank you for being part of this great company.. thank you for believing, and thank you for being part of history in the making.

Be inspired. Power of focus and positive energy. It's FSO that makes a difference and you lead the charge. 

Have a fabulous day filled with love and inspiration.  

Hugs all around,

Mitchell D. Weiner
