District 4 Plan of Action 2012-2013

Dear Chapter Presidents and Members of District 4, I am so excited to be serving as your 2012-2013 District 4 Director! Excited and a little nervous. I’m hoping to share some Bright and Bubbly with every chapter at least once this year. I’d like to visit a meeting and an event for each chapter. I’d like your help this year to sign 25 members, maintain 75% retention and have all chapters attend our 3 district meetings this year! I would love to see your smiling faces! I am a member of the Brainerd Lakes Area Women of Today, I have been in this chapter since January 2006. I have held the position of Seccretary, Membership Vice President, Chapter President and am currently our Programming Vice President. I work part time as an office manager for a security company and part time as a Freelance Graphic Designer and have a 14 year old son, Jaden. I like to dance, draw, watch really stupid T.V. and spend time with my friends and family. I love meeting new people and volunteering, it really is a passion. I know what a great group of ladies we have in District 4 and am excited to get to know you all better. Together, I know we can accomplish anything! Here’s to a bright and bubbly year! Thank you! Becky Stock 1857 Graydon Ave. Brainerd, MN 56401 218-330-1607 [email protected]
