Grand du Illinois’s Membership Team,

GRAND du ILLINOIS’s MEMBERSHIP TEAM,

MEMBERSHIP OF DECEMBER 15^th, UPDATE: 

The membership report of 15 December 2008 from Nationale shows that we have made improvement in numbers. Grand du ILLINOIS is now ranked 40th at 61.16%.  HOWEVER, on 14 December 2007, we were 65.87%.  But that being said, this year, we have no “Goose Eggs” and we have more Voiture Locales with 100% or more and that is something to hang our “Hat” on.  The problem is some of our Locales have fallen back behind.

We now have Fourteen (14) Voitures with 100% or more; they are

V-189 (1), V-207 (2), V-255 (5), V-391 (6), V-516 (8), V-529 (3), V-578 (2),

V-796 (2), V-860 (6), V-1100 (5), V-1222 (8), V-1234 (2), V-1299 (8), and

V-1398 (2).  Let’s keep it going.  These Voitures are to be commended.  Overall, out of the Grand du ILLINOIS 46 Voitures, 33 of them are 50% or more (including the 100% Voitures).

REMEMBER, “FORWARD, ALWAYS FORWARD”

In Service to La Societe
