Message From The GLD DM

Hello Great Lakes District Presidents,

We are trying to organize an International SCC to be held in Denver this year. The attached document provides a little more depth and some background. I would like to see us send our winning team (limited to 5 members) to the competition, but it will take a small contribution from your chapter if; as I always say, you can find it in your heart and your treasury.

Please review the attached and then direct any questions to your local staff representative or to me.

My sincere thanks,

Tim, GLD District Manager

2011-2012 Chapter Board Listing

At one of our District meetings we had a request to display all the Chapter Board Members for all chapters. The reason being is so that we would increase communication between chapters officers. This will also allow (as an example) for a treasurer of one chapter (or any of the board members) to communicate with another officer on another chapter board. The list is attached for your use.

Update: A few Chapter officers have asked that we not display some of the personal information on this listing. Due to this all info was removed except the name of Chapter, the name of the board member, the office held and an email listing. Anyone wishing to have their email address removed or changed to a generic listing please let me know. anthony.stencel@sbcglobal.net We hope this change will take care of the original need yet help with privacy issues.
