<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">
<DIV>I have provided the following information highlighting the state
convention
of South Carolina, Friday, August 21 through Saturday, August 22.
Elections will be held on Sunday, August 23.</DIV>
<DIV>Please consider registering, at no cost, for the convention
conducted
via the zoom platform.</DIV>
<DIV>As of this writing, we are planning to conduct an in person state
convention however, we need to review what is needed and therefore, may move
to
the zoom platform.</DIV>
<DIV>Upon completion of the South Carolina state convention, I will schedule
an
affiliate board meeting to discuss further.</DIV>
<DIV>Note of Interest: I and others are working on two separate agendas; an
in
person and a zoom agenda.</DIV>
<DIV>Again, please consider registering for the South Carolina state
convention.</DIV>
<DIV>Once the agenda is available, we could discuss what zoom calls that we
need
to participate in. You do not have to attend to all however, the more
you
attend, the better discussion we will have in late August.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks </DIV>
