Greetings from Area One

Top Teens of America Advisor

Greetings to our Founder, National President, Past National Presidents, National and Area Officers, Top
Ladies, Top Teens, Lords, and guests. Welcome to our 50th Area One Leadership Conference. I am
pleased and honored to serve as Area One Top Teens Advisor and bring you greetings for this historic
conference.

The past year has been a challenge. There is no doubt 2020 has been a year like no other. Last year we
went virtual and this year we are continuing to be virtual. Through it all, we persevered with a gigantic
passion continuing to serve and impact areas that need our service. Our conference
theme, “Reinventing Ourselves to Continue to Provide Outstanding Service to our Members
and Our Communities”, speaks to who we are, what we do, when we do it, how and where we
serve. Let us commit to continue serving and impacting the communities that are in need. We must
stay meaningful and purposeful in the months to come in the programs and services that we deliver so
that we will be known for our good deeds and the passion by which we serve.

I challenge each of you not to leave this conference the way you came. Leave with a renewed spirit that
happens when you reinvent yourself to be of better service to others!
