Region 5 REPORT
Going Strong

BY TOM MEINHARDT, DIRECTOR
In Region 5, we are going strong. I have been to Ohio and Illinois, and I plan to be in Indiana the middle of May and again in Illinois the end of May. I have enjoyed a warm welcome whenever I arrive in any of my states. At the National Board meeting, the budget was passed with a few questions on some of the expenditures.

All the State Council Presidents are working hard and that makes my job a lot easier. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to call me. I will be there for both VVA and AVVA.
