District Successors Search Begins!
     
     Hey Fellow Officers and Chairs, it is extremely important that you have looked to find your successors, in the case of Lt. Governors. and possible Chairs to replace you.
     There are only a few of each of you registered for Keizer. You all volunteered to be elected or to become a chair, it is your responsibility to make sure the job gets done. sometimes life happens and things change.
     If you can't get it done, find a volunteer to help you. I expect reports from all Chairs and Lt. Governors or a designate selected or for you to report via Skype. This is becoming a fantastic year. Don't let yourselves down. Don't look back and say "Gosh I wish I Had"
 
     Now before anyone gets their snoot in a toot. Let me tell you how much I love and appreciate all of you. And many many accolades for those of you that have "Got Er Done".
