Year of the Pod

10/2/2016

In September at our annual meeting during my presentation i talked about helping our Pods (chapters) have more of a presence in CASI.  I spoke about the upcoming year and that i would like to see more involvement on the Pod level.  We have always talked about increasing our membership and we all talked about needing some help getting the word out about what we do and who we are.  The first 'tools'  presented were  banners and new CASI brochures for the CASI information booth.  There are several more 'tools' on the way in the upcoming months and it is my hope and wish that the membership will embrace and execute the new ideas.

I have named this year, year fifty-one, "The Year of the Pod".   I have always believed that the Pods are the heart and soul of CASI.  We are an all volunteer charity and as such we are always looking for those members that have diverse and creative talents that are willing to share their time and energy to better our family.  We rely on the Pods and the membership to continue the purpose and growth of our family. So in the future, remember this,  if you are contacted to give advice, volunteer for a committee, or donate some time its because we recognize your expertise,  experience and knowledge and are looking for someone with your talent to advise and serve on a committee or help with a task.  

This next year is a turning point for CASI,  We have completed the first 50 years and are looking ahead to the next fifty. There are some exciting new items coming up and I am sure that everyone will see that this year is truly the year that we need the Pods involved more deeply in the organization. We need your talents,  your dedication, your passion and that which is the hardest to give;  your time. I look forward to seeing you all at the largest anniversary party held in the beauty of West Texas.  Take care and God bless.
