Dear Friends,

Thank you very much for your recent ECHO food drive.  Well over 25 bags of food plus household items and clothing were collected.  ECHO’s two main sources of food for our clients are Community Donations, such as yours, and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) that distributes USDA food.  Since the amount of USDA food allocated to us varies greatly from month to month, the Community Donations program remains our primary source of food year-round, and donations like yours will help us to keep distributing food during the colder winter months ahead.

Thanks again for your generosity and caring.

Sincerely,

Jon Hinkle

Richard F. Chambers: Audits: Don't shoot messenger - An article in the Orlando Sentinel written by IIA President Richard Chambers

"Although most government officials welcome the insight that comes from an effective internal-audit program, an increasing number appear threatened by the scrutiny that accompanies critical audit results — lashing out at the messenger."

Please mark your calendars with the following Luncheon and Board Meeting dates.
