We’d like to welcome you with a letter from our Co-

Welcome to the 40th Anniversary of Florida Roundup!

In the spring of 2024, we gathered in Ft Lauderdale for our most recent Florida Roundup: “There is a Solution.”  What an amazing success, which was only possible because of the collective efforts of so many dedicated individuals working tirelessly behind the scenes, and the attendance of the FRU general membership.  Thank you for your energy, your enthusiasm, and most of all, your presence!

As we look ahead to May of 2025, the Florida Roundup Family is thrilled to invite you back to the Westin on beautiful Fort Lauderdale Beach, for a monumental celebration: the 40th anniversary of the Florida Roundup!

This year’s theme, 40 and Fierce, is a testament to the strength, resilience, and spirit of our community.  We are committed to maintaining the cherished tradition of offering recovery workshops that inspire growth, keynote speakers who will move your heart, sober activities that engage the soul, and fellowship that fosters connection.  We have also planned special entertainment designed to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging and joy.

We encourage you to stay connected through our private Florida Roundup Inc. Facebook group, where you’ll find a wealth of information and support.   Simply reach out to one of our Board members (Paul C., George L., Michael R., Joshua K., Charles L., Andy D., or Mathieu G.) on Facebook, and we’ll happily add you to the group.  Alternatively, you can email us at [email protected], and we’ll guide you to our online community or answer any questions you may have.

As we prepare for this incredible milestone, we are reminded of how grateful we are to each and every one of you for being a part of this journey.  Your participation, energy, and spirit make Florida Roundup the life-changing experience that it is, year after year.

With Heartfelt Thanks,      

Paul C. and George L.
