Where Would We Be Without Them?

Everyone jokes about Past Presidents being “has-beens”, but really, where would we be without them, without our leaders? The ladies whose names appear below, stepped up to the plate and took charge, offering to share their skills, leadership, friendship and above all, their time. They are recognized for their efforts and are very appreciated.

Also appreciated, are all of the other Officers both Internationally and in the Districts, who give so selflessly of their time.
If you would like to join their ranks, contact your President or Board Member. Let them know you’d like to help.
