We talked about state convention and encouraging people to attend. I talked about the KJLSp Program, and my graduation. </div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We are very proud to have our one and only Iowan receive a National scholarship.

Our chapter meeting is going to be held at Hope Elam Lutheren Church. The address is 2500 University Avenue. The bus stops right there. The bus runs every 30 minutes on Saturday. The doors will be set up on an automatic lock and unlock. I will give you those times after I firm it all up with Mike. I think this is going to be an excellent place for us. Most of the time we will be having our meetings in the commons area. Except when the commons has already been booked. Mike said that we would have use of the Commons from August of 2023. To August of 2024.with the exception of December which is our Christmas party. And we will discuss that at the next meeting. This was voted on and approved by the chapter unanimously. The church isn’t going to charge us a fee. They are based on donation only. A motion was made and seconded that we use the chapters portion of the 50-50, to contribute towards the donation. The motion passed unanimously. Anyone who wants to contribute to the donation is welcome. </span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As always if you have any questions, or need to speak with me about another matter, please contact me off list at my information listed below.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Thanks stay cool, and enjoy your summer.
