President Marsha’a March Letter –
March is almost over. April is just around the corner. Spring and warmer days will be here soon. Well, that’s what I keep telling myself.
I greatly enjoyed my time in Astoria, Oregon. Thank you, Jennifer Canessa and Alpha Theta. What an outstanding Spring State Meeting. Some takeaways were:
Barb Schmelzer led a workshop on being prepared for a disaster. It was well received, and many questions were asked and answered. Great information!
I led a workshop continuing our conversation of where we wanted to be in 5 years, intertwined with the leadership training I received in Denver this last February. ……………………………………..

Hope all is well with everyone on this fine Monday! I finally put a spreadsheet together for the Camp-Stand-By-Me Easterseals project for the summer of 2025. I know some of you picked up the wish list paper at Spring State Meeting, but for those that didn’t or weren’t at the meeting, I hope this helps and you can participate.
