May 2023
Thanks for your patience and bearing with me this first year as State Events Chairman.
Yes, mistakes were made, but I have learned a lot, and I believe there are positive things to happen moving forward. One example of this was the State Bowling Tournament in February. My team had one non-member and he is now a member. Another guest has his form 100 getting approved. Thanks to Todd Johnson, Jeff Young, and Monsignor Dillon Council for hosting. The Free Throw Championship was a much bigger challenge. Thank you to all the volunteers at the council and district levels. A very special thank you to Regional and State chairmen, John Didelot, Dan Hampton, Tom Dickerson, Alan Inkenbrandt, Nick Herman, Kevin Steinkuhl, Andy Gorgol,Dave Gregg and all the DDs, Color Corps, State officers and directors.
Next up is the Holiday World State Family outing. Deadline to reserve tickets is May 7th.
Lastly, we are still looking for a council to host the 2023 State Golf outing. I finally want to encourage every member to participate in the State Events either as a volunteer or participant. Bring a non-member! You make a difference.
