Learn a Thing or Two
This year's Fall Training Conference will be at the Grand Hotel,
North Conway, November 16-18. Lt. Gov. Ken Georgevits reminds
all that "it is not either a) required that you attend
or b) required if you do go that you are there all three days.
I encourage you, however, to take advantage of as many of these
events as possible. They are supported by part of our District
and International dues, so we already pay for them plus
they are both educational and fun." Contact Sec.'y Kathy
Calvin if you would like to attend.
Meet the Guv
The New England District's Governor's Visit will be at the Grappone
Center, Concord, N.H. on February 2, 2002. Lt. Gov. Ken Georgevits
would "like a good turnout" for Gov. Stephen T. Hill.
"Steve is driving up from Southern Connecticut and, out
of respect, (I) think we should provide a good crowd.
Disaster Workers Respite
Program
Kinney O'Rourke has been hired to coordinate a project to treat
emergency service personnel from New York City to weekend stays
in the Lakes Region. The various labor unions will be helping
with the selection process. Area accommodations, restaurants,
and attracts are contributing services. Almost $20,000 has been
collected so far in donations. He would like us to handle deposits
and disbursements through our 501C3 account so patrons may claim
appropriate deductions. The program is scheduled to run from
November through May.
Kinney O'Rourke makes his pitch.
