Well, the fat lady has sung….so to speak.
We had our monthly CFAAA meeting at the church last night and we held our election of officers for 2012. Since I am term limited, I am unable to run for office again until 2013 (since I have been president for the last two years). I have to take the year off from being an officer. I was highly disappointed in the turn-out at our meeting, but there is nothing I can do about it. You can plan meetings until you are blue in the face, but you can’t make people come. We did have a good time last night and the elections went well.
Since I am no longer going to be an officer, I will have much less to do as a CFAAA member. My main responsibilities now will be keeping the CFAAA website updated and proof-reading the CFAAA newsletters each month. It will be a little strange, though, because for the last 6 years or so, I have been the main person who had been sending email reminders to the rest of the membership. Now that responsibility will be for the next president. As a matter of fact, today I sent out my last official email as CFAAA President. I feel a little bit relieved because the big responsibilities are gone. I will miss staying in touch with Fire Administration……since that is what the CFAAA President does. I will have to remember that I am no longer president, so much of the stuff I was doing, I will no longer be doing.
I am actually still the president until January 1, 2012, but I have pretty much turned everything over to the next president already…..and she is ready to take off with it. I hope to still make the monthly meetings each month and plan to volunteer for some of the CFAAA events, but my main focus now will be spending more time with REACT. I have been treasurer this year for REACT, but I am not really enjoying it. The main reason I am treasurer is to be on the Board of Directors. I would love to just give it up and just be a Board member. In December, we will be having our elections for officers and I don’t think I am going to accept the nomination for treasurer. Somebody else can do it.
Today has been a slow day at work. I am staying late to work on some paperwork and then coming in tomorrow from 7 am – noon and do more paperwork. Gayla is working until 10 tonight and Karla is going to Kansas with some friends this evening. She will be back tomorrow evening. Other than that, I really don’t have anything planned for the weekend….except that we are taking Scout in to the groomers tomorrow to get bathed and groomed.
