A LETTER FROM YOUR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Dear Division 54, I hope you all had a great Independence Day! As your summer progresses, I hope your service shines! There’s plenty of projects and opportunities to serve throughout our community and beyond. It’s as simple as creating letters to thank the troops, or organizing a dog wash with your friends and donating to the ani-
mal shelter. Let me know what your club is doing and get a chance to be in the club spotlight! In Love and Service,
Daphne Uhler
