PAGE 9 CIMARRON TRAIL ZONOTES By J on J ones The ball is rolling on 2018, and calendars are filling up. Lone Star Region might get the first-out-ofthe-box award for hosting a DE on January 20-21 - the feedback I read on social media shows an excellent event. While the heat of summer might play a role in starting the DE season early, I suspect it is the enthusiasm of the members and the regular DE drivers. No snow? Time to get on track! February will be pretty busy in Zone 5. We have the PCA Winter Board Meeting at PCA HQ on February 10th, followed by the Zone 5 Region Presidents meeting in Little Rock on February 17th. With a number of new presidents in the zone this year, the presidents meeting is a great opportunity to learn about all things PCA. This year our guest presenters include PCA President Caren Cooper, National Insurance and Risk Management Chair Ken Laborde, National Driving Tour Chair Greg Halverson, and National Social Media Chair Maggie Garnett. Being a new Region President can be a daunting task when you first start out, especially if you haven’t had much to do with the National Office. By introducing the new presidents directly to some of the people who help guide the PCA world, they learn first-hand that they are not alone. Everyone is committed to helping the Regions and the members get the most from PCA. Region events in February are looking good.
