District X
Jim Giffin, District X Vice President; [email protected]
Thank you to everyone who voted, not only for me but for Laurence Tougas as well. Voting for whom you want in this office is your right, and I thank each and every one of you who did.
A larger percentage of the district’s members voting would be better, and maybe that is something we need to address. What is the answer to why more members don’t vote? Is it that they don’t care for the politics or who is in office? I surely hope not, but I do not have the answer.
I wish I did know the answer—I would take care of the problem if I could.
In thinking about the past year, I am reminded of many events I attended, or my associate vice presidents attended on my behalf. It was quite a few, that’s for sure.
I know I have stressed this in past articles, but I want more event reports. It’s not just so I have something for this column, but to help advertise our district’s clubs and their events.
A long time ago, when I used to send in event reports, I felt it was a privilege. It made me feel good to see my club’s events in print in this magazine. I know they are not huge reports, but they do let others know what’s going on and what events they can attend the following year.
I hope more of you will consider sending reports soon. Following is a look at a few of the events reported on in this column this past year.
