District News
First of all I would like to “Congratulate” you all for
helping to make our district move into the plus side.
This is the first time in quite a while that we are at this
stage this time of the year. Please give yourselves and
all of members your club a hearty pat on the back and
keep up with the good work.
We are #5 this week on the leader board and to think
that the increase is due solely with Member retention
as well as new Members being brought in to all of our
clubs. Wait until all of the clubs that we have on the
go come in. Wow and double Wow. This district is on
the way up. It really is nice to see the upward climb
rather than the downward decline. Once again
“Congratulations.”
