“The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies, and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.”
—Michael Josephson

Governor Sarah's Message from SNR
April 1st E-blast
Hello,
It is party time in the city. I would like to thank those who have helped me in getting the Call to Conference together. IT HAS CERTAINLY TAKEN A VILLAGE TO GET THIS DONE. Thank you to those who have helped me out. And if you have not helped me, no worries, your time will come to help me.
My vision of our virtual conference is planted very securely in my mind. Part of conference will be live on zoom and other parts will be pre-recorded on the Region Website.
Call to the 3rd Board Meeting of the 2020-2022 Biennium
3rd Board Meeting Tentative Agenda
Best,
Governor Sarah
