By the time you receive this Buckeye, all clubs should have elected their officers for the 2000-2001 Civitan year and notified Civitan International and me. Please also notify Carol Wolters, who has agreed to serve another year as
As you are aware, the Civitan International Convention will be held in Oslo, Norway, July 7-12. As your Governor-elect I will be there and will report back to you after the Convention. Governor Ruth Ann and many other Ohio District Civitans will also be attending.

Especially important is the training for incoming
club presidents which must be more intensive
than the training for other officers. At Governor-elect
Academy it was stressed that one or two hours training for incoming Club presidents is inadequate and Ohio District was mentioned.
Accordingly a longer, separate training "academy"
has been scheduled for incoming club presidents to
meet Civitan International requirements. This will
have taken place on June 24, 2000, before you get
this Buckeye. The training is a MUST for every incoming club president and is training required for special recognition such as Honor Club. It is essential for efficient, effective and proper conduct of
club operations, growth, membership retention
and development. It is imperative that the president
have the more thorough and complete understanding of current Civitan policies, procedures, and programs which is obtained through training as well as have the benefit of interchange of information with other Ohio District clubs gained from meeting together as a group of 2000-2001 club presidents. In addition for Ohio District to have a successful 2000-2001 Civitan year, it is essential that all 2000-2001 club presidents work to gather
as an Ohio District team. The training session will
help establish the team effort and spirit. The training of 2000-2001 presidents-elect, secretaries, and treasurers is scheduled for a couple
hours Saturday afternoon just after the elections
at the Annual Convention in August.
APPOINTED DISTRICT CHAIRS
The Civitan Calendar requires that Appointed District Officers and Chairs be appointed soon, preferably prior to the International Convention. To
accomplish this, I need your help by suggesting
persons to fill specific positions or by indicating
your preference or desire to fill a specific position.
I need your suggestions and volunteering immediately. It is my hope to have so many suggestions and volunteers that I cannot follow all of them and that you understand if I am unable to follow yours. But please do volunteer or make a suggestion even though I may not be able to use all I receive. More realistically I probably will have to do some recruiting, so please say "yes."
