District 5520 Council of Governors

The Council of Governors met and had dinner and fellowship.  This is a wonderful opportunity to see the Past District Governors and their spouses and to catch up on what is happening in each of our lives.  The next morning a meeting is held to allow the DG, DGE and DGN the opportunity to share with the Council of Governors what is happening in District 5520.  This is a great time to get advice and feedback from Past District Governors.
