President's Letter

Greetings!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for the opportunity to serve you as Chapter President this year.  I am blessed.

During November’s meeting, we honored Lynda Wingo as our Executive of the Year!  Everything about the evening was special.

After each meeting, a survey is sent out.  We very much welcome and value your comments as we will strive to make improvements when possible.  I would like to address the comments made regarding the problem with the video sound.  Prior to the meeting, the video was tested several times.  Unfortunately, we were unable to correct the problem during the meeting.  The facility staff had to leave early on that day.  Therefore, we did not have any support that evening.
Reta contacted the facility and explained the situation and expressed our disappointment.  Management was very understanding and we received a partial refund.  Please continue to complete the surveys and share your comments with us each month.

December’s Meeting will highlight our spirit of giving.  Our guest speaker will be Jenee Day, Chief Development Officer, from Domestic Violence Intervention Services. We have adopted two families from DVIS for Christmas.  At last month’s meeting, members were given the opportunity to select stockings and red circles which specified either a wish list item or a center need.  If you missed this opportunity, please feel free to bring an item(s) from the list contained within this newsletter.  

I look forward to seeing you all very soon!

With my highest regards,
Trish

Tech Tips!

UNDO!


A simple tip to remember when doing almost ANYTHING on your computer, CTRL + Z should become you're best friend.  Accidentally delete that entire table you worked so hard on in your excel spreadsheet?  Quick press the Control button and the letter Z at the same time and TA-DA!  It's back!

It's the simple things in life!
