Region 2 needs a Trustee due to some shuffling of personnel at the district level. Kip and Dave volunteered to be 2 delegates to vote by zoom on Thursday, October 5th at 7 p.m. for a Trustee. Linda Placzek is running.
Joann has been trying to involve inner city kids for the Key Leader Conference. She has tried to contact 100 Black Men of Omaha several times. No response. Brian Wells asked if instead of inner-city kids, would we sponsor a kid from another club if other clubs have kids that would be interested in going and there are no available funds. This will be on the agenda for the Board meeting September 19th.

One project was giving making bookmarks and writing inspirational sayings to give with the books they were donating. Cassie and Cooper were very impressive speakers.
