Two of Our Districts are on Facebook!
Facebook is a little beyond this old man, but if you are a little more “hip” than I am, a couple of our younger district officers are attempting to move the rest of us into the 21st Century! Below are links to the District 5 Facebook Page (which has been established for awhile) and the District 3 Page, which our new District 3 Secretary is adding to now. I believe both sites will eventually have private pages that will only be available to current members of that particular district.
