 ers\, Happy New Year! We are beginning the countdown to our own District's
  Club Leaders' Forum on March 7 & 8\, 2026 (1½ days) designed to help all
  of us build stronger clubs. If you have not pre-registered already\, plea
 se pre-register right away. The Forum is not only our version of the Presi
 dents Elect Learning Seminar (PELS) -- a requirement for new or returning 
 PEs -- it provides the added learning opportunity for previous and new clu
 b Secretaries and Treasurers. No registration fee There is no registration
  fee for the Forum. Our District 5040 is covering the cost of the CLF lear
 ning sessions\, meals and up to two nights accommodation for attendees fro
 m outside of the Lower Mainland. We will also consider providing hardship 
 travel financial assistance to participants or for their sponsoring clubs 
 which need it. We need to plan effectively so your pre-registration now is
  important. Facilitated forum not lecture The Forum will feature experienc
 ed facilitators to encourage discussion so we can learn and share knowledg
 e among ourselves\, whether you are returning to your club leader role or 
 new to the job. The venue is the outstanding\, specially designed learning
  facility\, Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue in downtown Vancouver (part
  of Simon Fraser University). Bring your laptops and mobiles and connect t
 o resources during sessions. Much less cost of money and your time All tha
 t comes to you at much less cost of time and money\, and greater access wi
 thout crossing the border\, for participants and our District than require
 d in the past to attend PELS in Seattle for PEs only in February. Later th
 is month\, depending on registration of only District 5040 club leaders\, 
 we can determine whether we can accommodate at our Forum other Canadian Di
 stricts' PEs\, Secretaries and Treasurers who will have to pay basic regis
 tration and other expenses covered for you by our District. Thank you! Dea
