Grande Offcer Bonding Form - This form can be filed out on line then printed and mailed to the Grand Correspondant

Congratulations to all the 2008 Officers, Directeurs and all Voyageurs for your efforts for the year. As we now move forward to 2009 please review the updated roster as posted on the "Officers" page. I am still updating as the information comes in (slowly) from the Locales. If you see an error or any incomplete information and are in touch with a Voiture that has yet to send in the information, please ask the Locale to get the info to me or email me with the correction. I also need to know your District Cheminot and Sous Cheminot, so if you know let me know. You don't have to be bashful if you are not the Cheminot or Sous you can still let me know who is. I would rather have 10 Voyaguers tell me than none. I have hi-lited those that are incomplete with background color so they are readily identifiable. Please note that there will be some schools of instruction at Fall Cheminot and your attendance will be greatly appreciated. We will have some discussion on the need for Directeurs to better control the reporting and payment for pins and or cards which support our programs. There will also be information regarding per diem and calendar of events. I also would like as much notice as possible if your Voiture is going to host a Wreck. We need to get some fun back in the Grande and initiate new members accordingly. As you can see, we missed our 2008 goal, but not by an insurmountable number, so there is room to grow. Thanx for your support and your assistance. Ray
