This has been a very busy start for our term serving District 21. Budget done… District Executive Committee meeting done… District Council Meeting Done… District officer training done. Now it is time to focus on the health of District 21. One of my biggest passions is to take the strengths of our strong and successful clubs and encourage them to share with our more challenged clubs. If you are a club that needs help with membership… would like to have better meetings… or any other challenges… please don’t hesitate to get me involved. I have been fortunate to have been in a President’s Distinguished Club for 20 years and have loved helping clubs of 5 and 6 members… helping them to become President’s Distinguished. That could be your club… send me a message.
