It is an honor and privilege to serve this great organization as President Elect for District 7. One of my goals this year is to assist President Vadaj in any way that I possibly can. I would encourage all of the members in District 7 to get involved, meet new friends and have some fun.

We have some very big goals this year: The Chatter will be going out to all members on a more regular basis. We continue to grow our district and will need your help in accomplishing this.

Our website is being updated more frequently and I would like to thank District 7 Northwest Vice President John Wierzchowski for making this happen.

I would also like to thank all of our Vice Presidents for all of their efforts:

    First Vice President-Gene McKeown CWHYC
    Cleveland East -VP Pat White CLYC

    Cleveland West-VP Rich McKee SSCC

    Northeast -VP Cliff Gabriel-MLYC

    Northwest-VP John Wierzchowski -MBIYC
    Pennsylvania -VP Perry Ross -PIYC

We currently have an opening for the Deep South VP and if you know of any candidates that may be interested please let us know.

I would also like to thank the Past Commander of GCBA Warren Dempster for becoming the new secretary for District 7

I would like to remind everyone that we have a new supply officer and former VP Carrie Pell. Welcome back Carrie!!

There should be some new ideas this year and we will certainly have some good times. I would encourage you to check our website frequentiy, come to a meeting and get involved. You won't regret it!! H anyone has any questions or I can assist in anyway. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
