Region 9
Director
Report
It has been a busy
first part of the New Year.
There was the Conference
of State Council Presidents meeting held in
Jacksonville, FL, at the same hotel that we will go
to for the VVA Convention. Virgie Hibbler was
there representing NV as the alternate for Terry
Hubert. It was a little bit on the cold side in
January, but I expect it will be a little warmer in
August. The next meeting I attended in January
was the VVA National Board of Directors meeting
in Silver Spring, MD. It was good to see Terry
Hubert and Tom George there. The next meeting
I attended was the California State Council meeting
in Fresno. I have just returned from the
Arizona State Council meeting in Phoenix. I am
looking forward to the next Nevada State Council
meeting in Las Vegas. More meetings to go to as
the year goes on.
There is some good news in Region 9.
Chapters 1071 in Denver and Chapter 1075 in
Colorado Springs have been chartered and are
forming the new Colorado State Council.
Colorado may have another chapter forming in
the Grand Junction area. VVA continues to grow
with 68,000+ members.
In closing, I also want to encourage you to
keep up your recruiting and retention of members
in VVA. Nevada has 811 members as of the
January closeout. There are quite a few Nevada
members in the At Large status. Some effort
should be made to get them involved in a local
chapter. It is the time for us to keep adding numbers
to our membership totals.As always, I am
available on email at southern@lodelink.com or
by phone at either 209-928-3848 or 209-768-
9841 if needed for anything
