Welcome to Our District Website!
Let me thank you all again for giving me the opportunity to be your District Director. At first, I thought of holding this office as another “chore,” but once I took the advice of a member who pointed out that is was an honor and an opportunity to hold this position, things became easier. There is still work involved, but it is more fun when you have the right attitude.
Isn’t this true in life also? It really doesn’t matter what happens to us, but rather how we respond to what happens. Some say, therefore we make our own reality. This will be the emphasis this year – making our own reality for our clubs. Let’s be sure to make it a good one.
The two programs, “Change, A Good Thing” by George Speer and “Keeping up with the Times” by Maryanne Lucas are designed with this in mind. They are in keeping with our theme: “A Time to Grow.” Let’s have fun! Let’s get informed! Let’s grow!
Sincerely,
Pat
