K-T District Mid-Year Conference The Mid-Year Conference is February 7-9, 2003 at the Chattanooga Choo Choo in Chattanooga. This is close enough for each club to send members. If you do not want to register for the entire conference or to spend the night, you can drive down on Saturday a.m. and attend workshops on Saturday. I am sending a separate announcement on individual meal costs. Use the registration form from your K-T Notes & mail to the district office in Lexington by January 17. There will also be training for next year's Presidents and Secretaries if you want to get a jump on CLE training. You can also receive CLE trainer training. Plus there are workshops for everyone. So, whether you want to spend the weekend or just Saturday, fill out and send in your registration now.
Division Council Meeting The next Division Council Meeting is January 16, at 6:30 p.m. at the Murfreesboro Club at Through the Grapevine Restaurant, 630 Broadmor St. At this meeting, the Council will finalize the election of Lt. Gov. Select for 2003-2004. Darrell Drinkall has been nominated. Other nominations will be considered at the meeting. The election of a Lt. Governor Elect must be finalized at this meeting. The Mid-Winter meeting is in Chattanooga on Feb 7-9, 2003 and the new Lt. Gov. Elect needs to be at that meeting for training.
The Murfreesboro Club meets at Through the Grapevine Restaurant at 6:30 p.m. If you plan to be at their meeting and eat, you must notify Dillard Lester by January 13. The meals are $12 and their caterer only prepares food for the number of meals ordered. Please RSVP your intentions. Dillard's phone #s are (W) 615-459-1181 or (H) 615-896-0203 or email him at d-lester@comcast.net. This would be a great opportunity to have an interclub. See you there.
