Tonight was the final Inspection for the 3rd District of the 2013-14 season. While I have not been able to make all the Inspections I wanted to make this year in the District, due to some being rescheduled and others due to work conflicts, another year is in the books. (Piqua Chapter Inspection is cancelled and they are in the process of starting a merger) I was happy to see REC Earl McWhorter PDDGHP from the 3rd District from 1990 who was my inspecting officer. He was back after a long time away from Hamilton Chapter due to his health and his wives. It was also a little bit of a rough year for the 3rd District as our new DDGHP this year REC Fred Gallo was out of commission for almost the entire year and is still working on getting back up to speed. I must thank REC Joe Fair and REC Greg Clatterbuck who filled in and did REC Gallo's Inspections for him this year. In addition, two Chapter have started the process of a merger and a third is working to keep from having to merge. Unfortunately, Piqua appears that the building they are meeting in may be sold and the other two are in desperate straights financially and with no officers. We have been working with these Chapters (some for over 10 years) to try to get them stabilized to continue but sometimes factors outside the Chapters control come into play. We are looking to put some major changes into play in the upcoming year in our District including on major new office to work directly on membership.
