Vice Sheet - March 2002 by Sallie Banko, Region 2 RVC

Just a few things this month.

Not much to report this month, I've been busy getting ready for the upcoming AMC meeting at Snowball. It's nice having an AMC meeting take place so close to home! My only regret is that since I'll be attending meetings for most of the weekend, I won't be able to enjoy all that Snowball has to offer! By the time you read this, the RG and AMC meeting will be over, so I'd like to say thank you in advance to those who made sure I had a good time despite my obligations and responsibilities..... Hey, thanks!

I wanted to pass along some information about a new mailing to begin this April. At the request of some of you, the national office will begin conducting a quarterly mailing to all Area Coordinators. We're doing what we can to keep everybody informed and involved! This is something new, so don't hesitate to offer suggestions on what could be included in this mailing and whether or not you find what was mailed helpful.

One of the questions that came up recently by a few of the members of region 2 had to do with how to go about updating a change of address, be it a house address or e-mail. All you need to do is contact the National office by phone, mail or e-mail. Many do not think to update their e-dress, and we have ended up with quite a few non-working e-mail address listed on the membership lists. By contacting the National office you are also getting the change to the local group, as the N.O. forwards all changes. What would be nice, however, is if you took the time to notify both levels, national and local; that way there will be no lag time before the local group is aware of the change. And remember to fill out the updated PDQ this year so that the national office is aware of your privacy preferences.

That's it for now ( I told you there wasn't much this month!) - Next month I'll have notes on the upcoming AMC meeting.
