President’s Message – April 2025
Happy April, FAW folks!
Yes, another month bites the dust, and what a year 2025 is shaping up to be.
We have an election day coming in June for our Board, and thus far we do have nominees for President and VP, which is great news for Knuti and I, as we were both elected for our 1-year terms 6 years ago! It’s been a wonderful and educational experience to lead the best and most talented group of people in all of CWC, in my humble opinion, and I look forward to being a part of this branch in other capacities in the coming years. Thanks so much to all of you for your confidence and support.
As you know, all positions on the board are open annually. We encourage anyone who wants to spread their wings and take on new challenges to step up and take on new roles. This is a great way to grow and strengthen your own abilities, and to help others grow, as well.
Just let me know of anything you’d like to try, and we’ll make a way for you.
This month we focus on poetry, so be sure to put on your thinking caps and work on your artistic, poetic abilities. Try your hand at some new wordsmithing challenges, and you may be surprised at what you can create.
Enjoy the April Ink Spots, and profit from the plethora of great works and opportunities being shared for your educational and personal growth goals.
Here’s to a great month ahead.
Affectionately Yours,
Terry
