A Quick Note from your Vice-President
Priscilla White, Educational Consultant, ESC 11I hope you are enjoying the warm weather and a return to the longer days of spring and summer. If you haven't had a regional meeting, it is not too late!!!! Take advantage of the longer evenings and meet somewhere for a relaxing dinner around a restaurant's patio or a member's backyard!!!!! Remember, regional meetings are to keep in contact and encourage each other.
You can also take an opportunity to invite members and guests to women's conferences such as Region 4's April 12 Spring Conference or Lu Stephens' retreat on April 14 in San Angelo. Regional meetings are a great opportunity to recruit women to attend the summer conference. If you need a suggestion for a program or speaker, contact me (prwhite@esc11.net or 817.740.7631)!!!
But most importantly, just take time to get together!!!
