You can do it. The Western Division remains in 3rd place, and Oregon is still 6th in the division. We are currently 82%. Getting to 85% by March 15th, to reach our next department goal, is still achievable! Let’s get those transmittals sent to department! Teamwork: simply stated, is less me and more we. On another note: Unit data forms for 2024 have been made available with the weekly membership reports. Did you look at the form yet? They’re due by April 1, 2023. Please note that National will be receiving an increase. Please review your Unit dues to make sure this amount is covered.
