Week 44, May 2-7, 2011

This week I would like to focus on some of the district's unsung heroes. First of all, I would like to showcase Paul Kumler. Paul is our District International Convention Committee Chair, and lone member! Paul has done an incredible job putting together both the train trip and the district dinner. I asked Paul to chair this committee because he was born in Louisiana and knew a great deal about New Orleans. He has worked diligently to make sure that our trip would be a memorable one. Unfortunately, he will not be able to attend the convention because of family commitments but I wanted to give him a great big "thank you." We could not have done it without him!
The next person I would like to highlight is PDG Myles Golden. Myles has worked diligently to increase the district's membership. This is a thankless job. Membership for most districts is a slippery slope: gain one, lose one. Myles has traveled the upstate offering membership seminars to the area clubs. Myles is one of those people who always has a positive outlook on everything he does. He works hard for our district and is always available to lend a helping hand. Thanks, Myles.
In the coming weeks, you will hear more about our district's incredible "behind the scenes" members.
