Highlights—Last Meeting of D50's 2009-2010 EC, part 1 ...

This entry was posted on 6/26/2010 4:23 PM and is filed under Pictures, District, Metro Division.

This is the first of three with pictures taken at the last meeting of District 50's 2009-2010 Executive Committee. (The district's Senior Three is the district governor, the lieutenant governor for education and training, and the lieutenant governor for marketing. The Senior Seven in District 50 is the Senior 3 plus the public relations officer, secretary, treasurer, and immediate past district governor. The Executive Committee is made up of the Senior 7 plus all the division and area governors in the district.) This was the last EC meeting for me as governor of the current Area 33 in Metro Division; our own Danni Babik was there as incoming LGET and spent a lot of time finalizing the TLI Kick-off's schedule and planning ahead for the Fall 2010 contest season.

The first picture includes Jerry Caspell (currently Area 43 governor and incoming Plains Division governor) facing away. Facing the camera were Area 65 Governor Alan Balthrop (first-year wonder club Timberglen—including DCP “Perfect 10” less than 12 months after chartering—was in his area), Immediate Past District Governor Les Guse, Area 35 Gov. Sally McKelvey, Area 32 Gov. Lee King, and Area 62 Gov. Georgia Wargetz. In the second picture, incoming Area 31 Asst. Gov. Zhanat Elliston was sitting next to Lee King (current Area 32 gov. and next Area 31 gov.) who is talking to Sally with Les to her right; across is Metro Division Governor Denise Cothern with Area 31 Asst. Gov. Tim Pike to her right.

At the bottom, we continued a tradition of celebrating the birthdays since the previous EC meeting. Singing "Happy Birthday" with the rest of us, L to R: District 50 Secretary and Spring 2010 Conference Chair Patty Kim, Area 35 Gov. Sally McKelvey, Area 32 Gov. Lee King, Sergeant-at-Arms Tracey Lynn Ditter, Southern Division Gov. Tracie Henderson, Hospitality Chair Frances Guse (who brought the cake), incoming Area Gov. Lisette Cumberland, incoming Metro Division Governor Joseph Díaz, and District 50 Governor Paulette Harvey.
