The Hall of Fame is always a fantastic celebration of our achievements over the last year, the energy is so up and enthusiastic!  Every distinguished district brings their whole convention delegation up on stage for the awards!

I was privileged to be the very first announcer (photo below), reading off the Presidential Citations, and there were only NINE this year, compared to the usual 20-30 or so.  And two of them were for people from Region V, Michael Smith and Justin Gottfried.

Two of the Region V districts (where I’m from) were Select Distinguished, D43 (James Mayhan) and D8 (Dori Drummond), and three more were Distinguished (D30-Michael Gougis, D35-Kathleen Wesselink, and D63-Allan Daniels), which ties our best-ever number of distinguished districts (5 of 8).

Truly amazing — this is the event that district leaders worked for all year long, and they deserve it!
