Secretary

From The Secretary's Desk:

Happy Holidays, Fellow Kin!

Thank you for the tremendous FLC 2011 Duct Tape Forever - it was so amazing and wonderful to see all the first-timers and, of course, all my fellow Kin that I already know.

The Election for the bid to host FLC 2012 was great - both bids were very excited and pumped. Thank you K-W Kinsmen and Shelburne Kin for stepping up to take this on and being so enthusiastic! After the ballots were cast,congratulations to the K-W Kinsmen, our host club for 2012. Shelburne Kin, as it was said by many at FLC, we strongly encourage you to go for FLC 2013!

Fellow Kin, there is a LOT of work being done behind the scenes all year long, especially leading up to and during something like Convention and FLC. In the past couple years, I've noticed a shift in the attitude of those in attendance. Everyone has been approaching the mic in a respectful manner and best of all, the questions on things like budgets and reports have been asked in advance, which cuts down on meeting time and keeps things fun & flowing. Kudos to you, District 1!

In the new year, Clubs will be receiving another District mailing, which will include such goodies as nominations papers, invitation to host, Kinship One and official call to District Convention. It's important that all clubs take the time to go through these items, especially for your newer members. Plus, you just never know what Kin treasures you may find in your club's mailbox!

This holiday season, please be safe out there, hug your loved ones and most of all, celebrate with your fellow Kin all of the amazing things we do, have done and continue to do. Be a Secret Santa to a fellow Club member, surprise someone that's worked hard all year. Have a Christmas get-together or go out in the community and spread the holiday spirit. Whatever you do, wherever you go, be Kin and lovin' it!

Happy Holidays from my desk to your home,

Secretary Tanya & Family
