It was so exciting and inspiring to be back together on Saturday, January 29, 2022 for our 2022 ADEC Mid-Winter Conference! More than 30 of our members and guests participated in the day-long conference that was chock-full of information, inspiration, and ideas to bring back to our local clubs. What a wonderful time we had gathering, meeting, sharing, and eating. Thanks to the Exchange Club of Irondale for hosting our conference again and thanks also to the ADEC for providing a free registration and a free catered lunch (including soup!) from Urban Cook House for all attendees. Joyce Franklin of the Irondale Club (Div. 4 Director, Past Region 9 VP) did an excellent job with lunch and site preparation and John Schoen, ADEC Treasurer, "kept the stars moving" with the technology and site set-up. NEC Representative Barbara Orr, NEC Treasurer, inspired us with her talk on how to grow your club by BUILDING NEW CLUBS, using her club-the Exchange Club of Mooresville, NC as an example. Linda Scheon, ADEC Secretary, reported that our Alabama District is still experiencing positive growth (Yay!) and 96%+ member retention. ADEC President Maureen Murphy introduced a "President's Day Teacher Packet" for Alabama students and teachers (Grades 1-3) to use as a program of service for individual clubs. She also reviewed our district's current new club building efforts and announced that the newest club in the district-the Collegiate Exchange Club of Northwest-Shoals Community College will charter Jan. 31, 2022 with 19 members and will have its COE (Club Opening Event) and party on Feb. 16, 2022 at NWSCC-Phil Campbell campus. Our Region 9 VP Kim Prado taught us some great stuff about care and maintenance of Excel and Junior Excel Clubs and reminded us that you do not have to build these clubs at schools!
MORE MID-WINTER NEWS TO COME HERE SOON!
