COR Reflections Thank you so much to everyone who attended COR! I am so happy I got to meet some of our club officers in person, for the first time, this weekend! I had a blast hanging out with everyone, and hope you feel ready for the upcoming school year. Remember, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or another board member. We are here to help you! -Joanna Carman (Governor)
Thank you to the WUMderful officers who were able to attend COR! I hope that everyone was able to learn something that they will bring back to their respective club. I had a WUMerful time getting to know officers across the District and hearing about the amazing things that clubs will be doing this school year. If you ever need something from the District Board, please let us know- we want to do everything we can to help all of you succeed. Again, a huge thank you to everyone who participated in COR online or in person! -Liana Opitz (Special Events Chair)

WUM District Board Edition Written are facts about some members on the board to help you get to know them better! 1) I know how to write on cakes with frosting! 2) In the past, I have served as a chair as well as the secretary on my club board. I currently serve as a co-president! 3) I have been apart of the K-Fam for 8 years, going on 9 years now! 4) While doing a service project in Door County, I did an EPIC job of parallel parking (which was good because I had some members in my car!!). 5) My dad is in Kiwanis and my little sister was in Key Club before she graduated high school, so we had 3 branches of the Kiwanis Family represented in my family!
6) I organized a COVID-19 supplies drive last year for my Circle k club! 7) My first time at MAC I slept-walked and made it to the main lobby before waking up! 8) I was in the New Year's Day parade in Rome, Italy my freshman year of high school.
