Playtime is Over!

I thought it might be of help to emphasize how fast things have gone and, to a much greater degree, how fast they will go from this day forward.

If you have followed my blog from the beginning you will see a lot of time has been committed to this journey. I will state that the time has been spent without complaint as I truly am enjoying the experience, but you need to understand that this is not like being a club president - you have to be able to commit significant time to this and it comes at you fast.

A brief look at my calendar.

Tomorrow is a meeting of our training team. We are working on the two February 11th programs, Pre PETS and Area Leadership. The two combined compose a full day of district training. It is the team's job to make sure it is a productive use of the club PE's time while fulfilling the needs of the district. This team meets frequently.

January is International Assembly in San Diego, CA.
February is Pre Pets and Area Leadership Training
March is PETS in Orlando and our District Assembly.
April is the District Conference.
May is the International Convention in Bangkok
July 1st the DG year begins. Mid month are the TRF and Membership Seminars.
July into October are the 52 official visits.

There is no rest between now and a year from now. It is going to be high speed and exciting. Keep in mind that should you decide to be, and if you are selected to be a District Governor, your busiest time will be from October to October, DGE to DG years. I am in close contact with our current governor, just completed with her official visits. She continues to reinforce that I should plan and complete every action possible prior to January because there will be no time after that. I believe her. It is October 25th and I am already pretty much out of time. So I pass along the same advice. Get everything done six months before you think it needs to be done. A year would be better.

Till next time!
