President’s Message
April 2018
It is that time of the CWC year (July 1 to June 30) when each branch starts looking for officers for next year. The strength or our branch comes for the leadership.
We will hold nominations at the May general meeting and announce the candidates. The positions that need to be filled are: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. We need everyone in the branch to consider running for a branch office or taking on a committee position either this year or next. Elections are held at the June general meeting with the new officers starting their term in July. I will be out of the country all of May, so you can send to me an email at: ragarf@earthlink.net, to let me know of your desire to keep your branch running smoothly. No experience needed, but only you enthusiasm to keep FAW running to help all of our local writers. By the way, I will not be running for another term as your president.
Knuti has given me a list of our future speakers and it is an impressive list.
Kudos…
