This is it: the final issue of the Tarheel Tattler before the big annual state
conference and the end of another program year, so there is lots of news and lots of reminders throughout this edition of the Tarheel Tattler!
First of all, the state conference is for ALL of our C.A.R. members in the state, so don’t miss it. This year it’s being held at the beautiful Hotel Ballast, right on the scenic Cape Fear River in Wilmington, and it will include many special events including the second-annual C.A.R.’s Got Talent competition, the first debutante presentation in years, the always exciting awards banquet and member dance, and an exciting trip to the Battleship North Carolina berthed just across the river on Saturday afternoon… The registration information is in this edition and on-line at ncscar.org
The report of the nominating committee is in this edition. Please take a
look and consider these candidates for each of the 11 state officer positions. Society delegates will have the chance to vote to elect your next officers at the state conference. If you want to be a delegate from YOUR society,
be sure to tell your Senior Society President! Thanks to nominating committee members Megan Benedict, Nathan Westbrook, and chairman Joel Johnston for all of their hard work on this committee!
The contest year is winding down, with 27 different state contests that
each local Society can entry with 54 opportunities to win an award for your
Society’s hard work. Some are easy one-meeting entries, others take longer,
all are designed to be fun and educational. Ya gotta be in it to win it! Entries are due by February 28.
Finally, I would like to thank the North Carolina State President, my
daughter Daisy Dolicker, for all of her hard work this year. I am personally
very proud of Daisy for achieving all four of the key goals that she set at the
beginning of her term. She travelled the state telling the story of C.A.R. and
her project to our valued parent organizations, the DAR, SAR, and the SR;
and participated actively on the National C.A.R. Board.
George Dolicker
Senior State President
