Welcome to 2024 Central Ohio Chapter Members! I hope you are all staying warm or getting away to a warm place for a week or two.
Wow did 2023 GO FAST! I feel like I just began my Presidential journey with you and here I am in my finial year as your President! I am looking forward to an AMAZING 2024 with all of you!

I want to Thank everyone who has so far volunteered. We are reviewing our Organization Chart and will be posting all the open Volunteer Positions, for you in order to allow you to pick what you would like to do. They will be posted on the Volunteer Engagement Platform (see link in the outreach area of this newsletter). We will let you know when they are posted. For those that are thinking about volunteering please also review those post and if there is something you do not find, let us know what you might be interested in. We need Volunteers for everything – maybe it is just volunteering for one event or being our IT Guru and we have everything in between. We can never have too many volunteers. We also currently have posting for our Outreach Team on the Volunteer Engagement Platform.
We are excited to build a strong team and board so it has a lot of depth for the future growth of the Central Ohio Chapter. I hope you will be apart of it.
The biggest Happiness is when at the end of the year you feel better than at the beginning.
