Welcome to the

Greater Northwest Region!

                         Greetings Greater Northwest Region!

Thank you for electing me to serve as the 2009-2010 Greater Northwest Regional President!  I am excited to serve as your president for this term.  A few of the things I want to really focus on included 1)  increasing fellowship among our chapters, 2)  encouraging more participation in the Hallmark award process, and 3)  assisting more of the Greater Northwest Region chapters to achieve 5 star status.  My door is always open, and I will be here to help you in any way I can.  I look forward to seeing many of you at the International Convention in April!  Jessie Smith, our 2008-2009 Communications Officer, created this great brochure with information about Grapevine.  Check it out!

Sincerely,

Lorene M. Boyd
