Secretary Samuel’s “Keys” to Success Hey Board! Welcome to 2015! With the New Year comes some great opportunities to serve your community. I can’t believe we are so close to DCON! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and I can’t wait to see everyone at winter board! Please make sure you are constantly informing your clubs to report and also make sure they send in the reports on time so they can get extra points, plus it is easier for me. Also, if you ever have any questions or need anything please let me know. Yours in service,
Samuel Kinnin LTG Checklist:
Task of the Month for December:
Be on the lookout for new resources Encourage clubs to report Make sure all clubs have paid dues Make sure to have clubs update COCI (some still haven’t) Look at your feedbacks for your divisions Email resources to all clubs
Secretary Update: Remember to make sure your clubs go check out the November/December Secretary Update. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfm0fgEXk
Happy Holidays! This time of the year is all about giving. What has your club done to give joy to others during this jolly season? Write a description on your favorite holiday project your club has completed (about 75-100 words). Remind your clubs to send this in with their reports Third Quarter: It is almost the last quarter! That means it is important that clubs send in their reports and work hard to finish the year off great! The Top 25 Clubs third quarter will be out at the end of this month as well. Congrats to everyone one the list but also if a club isn’t on the list that doesn’t mean by DCON they can’t be!
