On February 7, 2005, Communiqué hosted its second Annual Networking Roundtable event in the Galloway Room on campus at Rollins College.

Several representatives from organizations within the community were present, including Walt Disney World, Darden Restaurants, Daily Buzz, Orlando Sentinel, Salvation Army and more.

The student turnout for the event was even higher than the previous Roundtable event in 2005.

It is important to note that the Networking Roundtable offers all Rollins students the opportunity to meet and ask questions from professionals within the Florida community.

Furthermore, a Thank You is in order for all the organizations who took the time to inform Rollins students on their experiences and knowledge in their fields

On March 2, 2005, Communiqué in conjunction with "Quotes" from UCF, participated in the FPRA's annual "Roast and Toast" fundraising event at the Church Street Ballroom in downtown Orlando.

Communiqué President Lauren Kleinschmit, Vice President Meredith Spindler, and future officers Lindsy Hays, Caroline Green, and Christopher McClure represented Rollins College at the FPRA's annual event.

A silent auction was held in addition to the comical roasting of Orlando attorney Fred Leonhardt with GrayRobinson Attorney at law. The scholarship fundraiser was an incredible success, with Dean Sharon Carrier receiving a check of more than $39,000 for communication scholarships for UCF and Rollins students.

Communiqué and its members are actively participating in the Rollins Community. On April 27, 2006, the FPRA Image Awards will be held at the Orange County Regional History Center in Downtown Orlando.

All students are encouraged to attend and participate with the organization's professionals in attendance. For more information regarding Communiqué and our events, please check out our website, www.rollins.edu/communique and become a part of our team.
