The Prez, not him, me

I have the slightest, minuscule feel for what his position must mean to President Obama. Yesterday I spent most of the day taking training along with about 50 other people who will be presidents of their Rotary Clubs during the 2009-10 year. I really had not been too worried about it until I got a 3" notebook full of the duties, responsibilities and loads of forms and reports that I will have on the table beginning in July. This was only the District presidents-elect training session and I feel daunted -- next month Ohio's 300 presidents-to-be meet in Columbus to spend an entire weekend of training.

Before my training, having been elected President of the club, I had all these great plans of what I would do to make our club greater. Having been briefed, like President Obama, those plans have changed. The campaign promises of the past become the reality of the position.

I'll be lucky to get the forms and reports done!
