At the end of December 2012 Panel 50 hands over to Panel 53.  It has been my privilege to serve as District Representative for District One of Area 42 - North Carolina and Bermuda - from 2010 through 2012. We have been blessed by the service of Jewel S. as our Alternate DR during that time, and she was elected by the District One Group Representatives in September to serve as District One's Representative 2013-2015.  Leland D. of Asheville was elected as Alternate DR.

The September meeting was unable to elect a district Secretary or Treasurer for the new panel, and I encourage any members who can serve in these positions and in the other district level service positions to write to Jewel at district1dr@gmail.com early in January to offer your help.
