Greetings Brothers and Sisters,
It is so hard for me to believe how quickly
this year has gone by. It’s a gorgeous spring day here in Central Oregon and I love
the warmer weather and sunshine.
It has been a pleasure and an honor to
serve as your Department Sr. Vice this year. I have learned so much and have
had a lot of fun with you all.
Last summer we enjoyed the hospitality of
Columbus, Ohio at the National Convention. This year National Convention is
being held in Reno, Nevada on July 24-29. It isn’t that far from Oregon, so I
hope to see you all there. It is great to see all our brothers and sisters from
all over the U.S. You can learn a lot and have a great time too.
In February, I had the privilege of going
to the National Mid-Year Conference. We took a cruise to Key West and Bimini.
It was very informative to attend the National Council of Administration and we
had great weather.
As you know, our Department Convention is
coming up next month. We will be in Salem at the Salem Convention Center on
June 18-21. There is still time to make your reservations. District Presidents,
there will be a C of A on June 17th in the evening and again on
Sunday, June 21st. This year’s convention will be a lot of fun so
don’t miss out.
I am looking forward to this coming year.
We have had a lot of discussions about the things that we would like to do
better for our membership. In particular, our Schools of Instruction. I know
that you all are tired of the same old thing; talking about National Programs.
Guess what? We aren’t going to do that this year. I need your help though. What
do you want to know about?
Text me, email me or even send me a letter
and let me know all your burning questions. We have some ideas, but I want to
hear from you what you want to learn about. The program chairmen will be there
if you have questions for them and they will have information to hand out to
you. The SOI’s are about you and about what you want to know so, give me all
your questions and we will give you answers. I sincerely hope that you will
attend one of the three SOI’s in August.
That’s all for now. Thank you for a great
year as your Department Sr. Vice. I enjoyed seeing you all at our events and
getting to know you better.
See you at Convention!
