East
Central District Officers, Advisor Mr. Barr, his wife Andrea, and
brother Kyle enjoyed an officer retreat to Melvern Lake on August
8th, 2004. Among the day's activities were picture-taking at an
old one-room school house, visits to a horse farm and an ostrich
farm, pontooning on the lake, and dinner and a movie in Emporia.
Much fun and bonding occurred, and we really opened up as a team.
The following are some pics from our retreat: |

Our new ECD officer team is excited for success in the coming year! The ECD Chapter Officer Training Day was held on Tuesday, June 15, 2004, at Anderson County High School in Garnett, Kansas. Present were nine chapter officer teams who joined together in starting POA's and National Chapter work for the coming school year. Lunch was provided by the Garnett Optomists' Club and each attendee received a T-Shirt. Each chapter officer also attended a brief workshop put on by the district officers which helped them to understand their responsibilities as officers in the coming year. All in all, the day was a great success. |
