OFFICER REPORTS:
Regional Director-Dr. Dena McGowan
It has been a year of growth for the South Central Region.
Alamo WDC in San Antonio did their affiliation last April. They just held a trial and
show for their first official event.
On my way to Nationals in CA, I stopped off on Oct. 26 and did the affiliation trial for
Wild West WDC in El Paso.
On Dec. 28 the Renegade WDC in San Antonio did their affiliation trial.
The next weekend on Jan. 4 Cypress WDC in Lafayette did their affiliation trial.
In the near future the Louisiana IPO Club in Ponchatoula will be doing their
affiliation trial.
I wish all new clubs continued success.
We did lose one club, Big Country SchH Club in Albany, Tx.
On the National scene, the new website is up, but still a work in progress. And how
do you like those new membership cards?
I wish everyone success tomorrow.
