Dear Fellow Clerks,
I hope all of you have enjoyed the summer and took some opportunities to get away from the office and relax! I’ve been busy this summer as have you but I did get in a long trip to the beach with my grandchildren and then a shorter trip by myself to recover from the earlier one. But, they were fun to be with and I loved having them all together to myself for a whole week. They are growing up so fast! It won’t be long before they might not want to go with me anymore.
Talking about being busy….please remember to congratulate Brenda Hunter for achieving MMC certification as well as Paula Woodard and Candace White for achieving their CMC certifications from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks. Great work ladies!
The Program Committee and regional hosts in have also been busy preparing and finalizing details for our upcoming regional workshops. If you can’t attend the workshop in your region, please attend either of the other two workshops if you can. Everyone has done a lot of work to provide these educational opportunities for us.
Western Regional: Yancey County, September 25 (Jason Robinson)
Piedmont Regional: Lee County, October 2 (Gaynell Lee)
Eastern Regional: Beaufort County, October 9 (Sharon Singleton)
Debby Gore and I will soon be meeting with Fleming Bell, Brian Newport, and representatives from the Municipal Clerks Association to set the program for the City/County Clerks’ School scheduled for January 20-22, 2010. If you have a topic that you would like to have addressed, please contact Debby Gore in Brunswick County or me. We would welcome your suggestions and comments. I look forward to seeing you at the workshops this fall!
Sincerely, Kathy Myers, President
