ADVANCE \d4Dear Dames

I want to thank everyone for having the confidence in me to be elected Grande Presidente for 2008-2009. I hope I can lead our Grande to a successful year. With all of the Officers, Chairmen, and all Dames help, I know that our year will be a great year. As we all know our Cabanes are expanding and some of the Dames do not live near their Cabanes so they can attend only the Grande Cheminots and Rendezvous. At our Cheminots and Rendezvous I am asking all Officers and Chairpersons to please have a report ready, even if it is just explaining the duties of each. I think this will help all the new Dames understand what we do as an organization. Hope to see you all in Decatur.

ADVANCE \d4 Jane Harmon, Grande Presidente
