All councils ,especially those in the Lower Mainland are encouraged to attend.  The training will focus on the techniques of recruitment, mainly dealing with the "how".  The training will also be interactive; it offers exercises designed to help members develop more skills to raise their knowledge and level of confidence in their recruitment efforts.

The program will showcase fresh perspectives and is very useful and beneficial to everyone.  I highly encourage you to promote this event to maximize attendance from each District.  Please direct any questions you may have to our State Advocate and State Membership Director, Bro. Arcie Lim.

Your full support and cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
