1 State President’s Message
Annual Meeting – November 10 Ashley Koby Charter Members Recognized Wow! I can hardly believe this year is almost over. The Annual Meeting in Macon this past weekend was awesome! We had a total attendance of 340 to celebrate our Fiftieth Anniversary. We would have had many, many more but we had one state board member, ten chapter presidents, and fourteen delegates on storm duty in the NE. In addition, we had delegates who could not attend because they had to hold down the fort for those who were away. A special thanks to all of our employees who helped with this massive effort. And thanks to everyone who took care of things back home. We had nineteen past state presidents in attendance and it’s always good to be around this group of established leaders. Their dedication and loyalty made the organization what it is today. It’s not too long before I’ll be an “official” member of the PSP Club. They sort of let me hang out with them this year. They even let me in the group picture! I look forward to supporting Josh Stallings next year as he leads our efforts. Josh is a very honorable, dedicated and TALL leader. Thanks to Paul Bowers and all of the executives and managers who attended the meeting and continue to support our efforts. Thanks to this year’s state board with whom it has been an honor to serve. Most of all, thanks to each of YOU. This is your organization and I have been honored to represent you during our celebration of “Lighting Up Lives for Fifty Years.” Best wishes for a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Margaret Cagle, Faye Gray, June Hemby, Eugenie Rogers Four of the five charter members identified during the year were able to attend and be recognized. These ladies have been active members of Women/Citizens for fifty years! Congratulations! Margaret Cagle belongs to the Augusta Chapter. She was a charter member in 1962 in Rome. She served as State President in 1981/82. Faye Gray of the Tallulah Falls Chapter is a charter member of that chapter and active since 1962. June Hemby of the H L Thomas chapter is a charter member.
