Christmas
was a chance for Chris and I to relax with family and friends before the hard
work begins in 2012. By the time
you read this Christmas will be over and we will be in the States at
International Assembly and our year as DG will be fast becoming a reality. The big challenge for us over Christmas
was to work out what to pack to take away given baggage weight limits and the
large amount of NZ memorabilia and gifts we needed to take.
December
was a month of planning our District Committee structures and appointing Committee
Chairs and Committee Members. You
do not realize just how many District Committees there are until you start
ringing around to confirm existing chairs or appoint new chairs. I have decided to make a change in Committee
structure to more closely reflect RI committee structures and themes. The support from across District has
been tremendous and we now have in place all of the main chairs. Following on
from this will be then need to start putting together the District Directory as
soon as we return from the States – not a trivial task. In early February we will be holding
District Chair training and then it will be getting ready for Multi-District
PETS. The District Changeover and Conference committee are continuing to work
away and great progress is being made – our thanks for all the hard work.
So a
short report from us this month but plenty of work has been going on behind the
scenes. We will look forward to
reporting back following our 3 weeks in the States and time at International
Assembly.
We hope
you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year.
