Words from Our President - August
 
What a great night we had with District Governor, Sandi Sava.  Before our quarterly meeting, DG Sandi met with the Board of Directors and was impressed by their preparedness and courage to continue moving the club into the future.  Thank you to all our hard working board members: Kwame Acquaah, Dwight Chambers, Joceline Herman, David Kenitzer, Carol Langley, Mary Mecklenburg, Leigh-Ann Reinero, and our advisor Mike Reinero.  They make our club one of the best in the district.  A special shout out to our Assistant Governor, Ray Ward for being one of our biggest supporters!
