REGIONAL TRAVEL COORDINATOR (RTC)

As your RTC for this fiscal year and in concert with our Regional Director (RD), a decision was made to ask each district within our region to identify at least one or two potential host families that can be contacted for the possibility of hosting a Brotherhood Fund Delegate and/or US Area or International Officers that may visit our region for a short home stay.

We need your help.  We need hosts families.  Please help us to be better prepared when BF guests etc. unexpectedly make a visit to our region.  Therefore, it would be nice to have a list of names for potential host families from each district.  Please District Governors (DG’s) Club Presidents solicit this information and submit to me as listed below the names, address, and telephone numbers of at least one or two potential host families and club.  It is preferable that Y’s Men’s home that have never before hosted a Y’s Men Visitor volunteer their home.  In addition, it is preferred that clubs that has not hosted a visitor during the past year or two volunteer.  If all else fail submit the names of the faithful known few that has made this program successful.

Oh yes, our region recently hosted a Brotherhood Delegate from India, Doctor M.C. Thomas, Ph.D.  US Area Travel Coordinator Ariani Friedl and our Regional Director (RD) Virgil Lucas handled most of the coordination of this visit.  Doctor Thomas arrived in our region via Chicago and was hosted by clubs from our Heartland District i.e., Naperville, St. Louis City North, St. Louis Carondelet and clubs from the Iowa district

Doctor Thomas attended our Regional Convention and I was told that he was made to feel right at home.  Sorry that I did not get the chance to meet our BF delegate, however, I did facilitate his home stay in St. Louis with City North member Paul Steward, Jr.

Happy Holidays,
McKinley Johnson, RSD/RTC
