Planning and organizing and planning and talking and talking and answering questions....... I have come to the conclusion that no matter how hard you try to answer EVERYONE'S questions week after week, there really is no end.

It's been 5 months since I assumed my position and have instigated my "plan of actiion" and I am getting close to making my mission statement come to fruition, which is good. I was writing my articile tonight and realized that at some point I lost my sense of self.

Organizing Veterans activities, Youth Activities, and maintaining the business aspect of the Lodge, along with the promotion, graphics, and webpage, it's a wonder why I am so frickin' tired much of the time.

The end result? The people that you help and the selfless giving has a return worth more than gold.... But it does tax the energy. Burnout? No. Tired? Yes.
