Regarding the first Division Conference Meeting, you are coming up with great new ideas to make our Division work together in serving our communities. Some of those ideas are: Sunny Scofield with the Division IDD. fund-raiser to acknowledge a member of the Division with a Hixson award, Tammy Lodermeier suggested compiling a book of information from all Division 33 to inform each member of the Division what each club is doing. Each member will receive a copy of this book, Jim Treanor is putting a professional directory together with all member's names, telephone numbers, addresses and the club the member belongs to.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank Sheila Hayden for hosting the first DCM (Bakersfield Club). We had a great turnout, 36 strong, and this is only the beginning. Let's keep up the momentum and it will be a great year.
