PETS March 12, 2005

Each year, the District holds a one-day session to prepare the next group of leaders to take office. The "President-Elect Training Seminar" (PETS) is designed to teach and motivate all the clubs' incoming Presidents and Secretaries.

Incoming DG Helen Reisler gave her keynote address, outlining the plans for the coming year.
