Columbia 2013 . . . Steering Committee Meeting

On Saturday, August 27, I traveled to Columbia, South Carolina, to join the Steering Committee for their initial organizational meeting for the 2013 Region IV Convention. We met at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church -- coffee in abundance. I was excited to be able to attend and meet all of the steering committee members. I appreciate the efforts of Tony Roof, convention coordinator; Patrick Hawkins, Greater Columbia Chapter Dean; Frank Ballard, Registrar; Christopher Nash, Publicity/Program Book; Polly Watts, Hospitality/Volunteers; Frances Webb, Gifts and Grants; Sara Beardsley, Secretary; Susan Sturkie, Treasurer; Mark Husey, Program; Thomas J. White, Exhibits; and David Lowry, Quimby/RCYO. What a great cast of characters for a great event. Stay tuned!
