Howard Brandt checked online regarding the Distinguished Club Plan in the T.I. website.  He did not find any record of our progress.  Later in the week, emails revealed that our governors have not submitted our progress details yet because they are constantly receiving corrections from other clubs in the area.  A hard deadline was set for final corrections for Sept 23 to be submitted to T.I., so we should see credit given to our club then.
