Voyageurs,

 

       I have asked and asked but I still do not have the officers list from these Voitures; 553, 1420 and 1494.  What is so hard that these locales can’t supply us with this information?  It’s time that the Cheminots from these districts pay them a visit.

 

       Spring Cheminot is March 10th.  All Officers and Directeurs must make a written report.  Cheminots, you should be in close contact with the locales in your district.  Also, all Directeurs are asked to bring an accounting of all their pin sales so that the Grand Finance Directeur can review them.  This is being done to insure that the Grande has all of its bill paid before Promenade Nationale.

 

       Now a little on membership, we are now in 40th place.  We are going in the wrong direction last month we were in 39th.  We are 239 members short of where we were last year and 503 short of this year’s quota.  We have to do better.

 

       January 19th was the National Goal to be at 75%.  The Grande did not make it and as of January 26th we are only at 68.87%.  The following Voitures are below the 75% Goal:

       If the Voitures that are short of the 2011 Year To Date had matched that number we would be at 84.59% with an increase of 254 members.

 

       Congratulations to the following Voitures who have attained 100% Membership: 1223 111.11%, 1425 115% and 1536 101.78%.

 

Yours in Service
