Marc,

I fully support your sentiments about the every day rewards, one get
just from working with a unit, I for one do not expect and will most
likely never receive any form of recognition from my District.

I do believe that hard working Leaders/Adults should not be
forgotten or just taken for granted, and regarded like a piece
of the furniture.

Sadly some district leaders are so full of their own self importance
that they forget who doing the work.

and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
