Message from Division D Governor to our president after Educational Workshop:
You and your team have done a wonderful job! You truly did raise the bar, and you raised it very h igh. People will be talking about Golden Gavel for years after! I'd like to get the video and process it for the website. Showing small clips here and there. I feel that we should "immortalize" your success! Again thank you so much for the wonderful job. You have touched a lot of lives. Including myself. I feel very inspired and can't wait to compete at the humorous speech contest. Too bad I can't compete right now.
With much appreciation!
