Message from Jerry and Marilyn Collins, Intl. President and First Lady

Dear Cathy and members of North Dakota Peace Gardens Unit,

We recently received copies of your 2008 Membership Directory and latest newsletter.  They are some of the best and most complete Unit publications we’ve had the pleasure to see!  And we’ve seen a lot of them from all over WBCCI over the past few years.. We urge you to enter both of them in the Publications contest at the upcoming International Rally in Bozeman. 

Further, we suggest that you furnish copies to Bill Schrader, the presenter for the Unit Publications seminar and to Dianne Pons, the Unit Officers Workshop Chairman, for their use as examples of outstanding Unit publications. If you will bring copies to Bozeman, we will introduce you to both of them.

Please extend our appreciation to the member(s) who assembled these outstanding publications; they represent WBCCI and your Unit very well.  The format and information they contain serve as great recruiting tools.  As examples of the quality of the Unit as a whole, they will help retain members as well.  Look us up in Bozeman and, until we can congratulate you personally, give yourself a pat on the back. 

Sincerely, Jerry and Marilyn Collins, Intl. President and First Lady
