In the Zone April 2023
Hello Zone 7,
Your Region Presidents all attended the Zone 7 Region Presidents on March 11th where Tom Gorsuch was our Executive Council visiting guest. At the meeting he shared information from PCA National. We conducted Zone business and your presidents shared some of what each Region had done in 2022 and have planned for 2023. All the Regions in the Zone are committed in their efforts to bring all members what they are looking for with increased inter Region support.
The Zone 7 Awards dinner was also held on March 11th. Thanks to all who attended and CONGRATULATIONS to all who participated and to the trophy winners.
Special congratulations to the Zone award recipients.
