To: Members & Club’s of the Iowa-South Dakota Association of Hi 12 Clubs
Brother’s, thank you for your support in the past and I hope to have it as well in the next year as President of the Association. During the upcoming term of my office, I hope to visit each of your clubs for a meeting as well as offering to come back and install your new officer’s if you would care to have me do so.
I will be proposing a change in our protocol and encouraging each Brother to include his wife at our meetings on a regular basis in the future; my wife calls it our mid-week date and looks forward to the time out together. So invite your significant other to join you for Hi 12 luncheon’s and enjoy a day date with her.
We will be suggesting several options each month to obtain speaker’s for meetings, the following are the first four and will be followed each month by four new opportunities.
Chamber of Commerce

Thanks again for your interest and support and I will look forward to see each of you in the near future.
