Plan Ahead







      Phyllis A. Harmon, DTM

      Editor/Publisher





         I’m almost done with this year. My clubs have met their goals, and
      congratulations and high fives have all been rendered. It’s time for me
      to start planning for next year. Just as the farmer spends the winter
      planning for the growing season ahead, I too am planning for next year.

         Taking stock, I’m completing the second path towards the DTM I
      promised myself in 2017. There’s much work ahead—planting seeds,
      tending them so that they thrive, and nurturing them towards a

      bountiful harvest. I’m sure I’ll have to pull a few weeds, trim back my
      expectations, and do some replanting. But that’s okay, as I’ve added
      contingency plans should my world view change.
         I plan to continue as a coach and mentor to all who seek my counsel,
      and volunteer for various and sundry District events. Club officer duties

      for each of my clubs, as well as working with the incoming Trio, offer                         EDITORIAL
      plenty of opportunities for personal growth. I’m looking forward to
      the challenges ahead.

         I invite you to be strategic in your planning. Take stock of where you
      are today and envision what you want to accomplish in the year ahead.
      If you start now and build in a contingency plan for those challenges
      that always arise, you too will reap the bounty of what you sow today.
         Next June, as congratulations echo across the District, let’s

      get together over an adult beverage and breathe a sigh of
      satisfaction for another well-executed plan.
