Please accept this notification of
my candidacy for the office of
National Director for the period
2004-2007.
My goals are to work for a
strong KWVA by listening to all
members, treating them equally
and fair, and safeguarding our
finances. Furthermore, I believe
common sense is the answer to
most of our problems. I will also
work for our National Charter from the United States

grandchildren will know what we accomplished over there.
