The Platypus
DIVISION 50
OCTOBER 2014
Volume II Issue VII
Hello Hello Everyone! I am very excited to be working with each and every one of you! First I would like to say great job to all of you and your clubs. In September we had been moving a bit slow, but now I am glad to say everyone is back on track. I have talked to most clubs in the division and everyone seems to be doing well. However, one concern I have is people are not doing the secretary reports; I have gotten any at all remember they are due the 5th . If your secretaries do not know how to do the reports be sure to contact me so I can train them. Overall I am very pleased with the work done by the clubs this year I hope you all keep up the work. Have a good day! I will see you all when I get the chance! In Caring and Service, Jayleen Leon
