LTGs and RegionalsI hope you all are enjoying your school year and planning many events and club visits. I am excited that the school year has gotten off to a good start and I hope this year will be full of service. Remember to remind clubs to report and if you or clubs have any questions or need any help let me know. I am more than glad to help! Remember to send out resources and reporting tools to clubs if you haven’t already and encourage the secretaries to do their best to report and look at the sources available on the District website. I hope you all have a great month and enjoy the school year!
