Howdy Howdy LaMissTenn!! How have you been?

That's right, it's me, your long lost district secretray treasurer with an update that many of you have been waiting for. Allow me to apologize for the delay, I won't go through the litany of excuses, but it's been a busy busy summer. So hold on tight and read along as we discuss some LMT Happenings!

Ok, a little recap of the June 11 meeting, not in official minutes, but simple summaries instead.

There were a few issues with the cabinet voted on, that being to allow those members to attend EITHER Summer Rally or ICON this year and that was passed, also Chassidy DuPont will now be in charge of Kiwanis and CKI relations and Brandy Bowen will be in charge of all other sponsored organizations and programs.

Our ICOn shirts will be black and have a firework design on the back. The goody packets were priced at $20 and if you ordered one, the money is due to Tommy Stephenson no later than this Friday, June 27.

Summer Rally is set for August 15-17 in Starkville....I am sorry Stark Vegas...The Jackpot of Service. Our chair, MSU president Becki Simonis has been working very hard on the event and you should be getting some further info from your club presidents soon as far as registration procedures. The cost will be $40 and includes meals and housing. This will be a great event to begin our school year together and I hope that many of you will make it there!!

Our Bulletin Editor, Lisa Ashby has set the deadline for submissions to her first bulletin at August 1. Please be sure to send in pictures, articles, or any other information about events coming up to have it included in the bulletin. This is a fantastic resource for you to utilize to promote your events to other clubs in the district. This bulletin will be handed out at Summer Rally, so that is just one more reason for you to attend!

If you have not seen it already, go and check out the template for the new website that Michael Arcement is working on. It is very much a template, but it will give you an idea of what you can expect for the coming year, and it looks great! So go to http://www.lamisstenn.org/circle-k/newweb/ to check it out now!

And now for an important announcement! There are currently two vacanicies on the District Cabinet that need to be filled. Those are Service Initiative and Tomorrow Fund. If you are interested in applying, please contact me or Rebecca ASAP so we can review the procedure with you. The board will be appointing these people at our ICON board meeting, so the applications will have to be sent in my noon on July 1, 2003. Please consider applying if you are interested!

Yes, everyone, there were other issues discussed at the meeting as according to the agenda Rebecca posted. If they have not been discussed here today, they were most likely tabled for further discussion at the ICON board meeting. I ensure you that minutes will be posted by the end of this week for your perusal and you will be updated on every issue we discussed. I hope that this ties you over until then! :)

If you have specific questions, comments, or concerns about anything, please leave a comment, drop an email or give me a call. As you may guess, comuter time is limited now, so calling is always your best bet!

Also, a shout out to LSU for such a successful blood drive, you guys rock!

See you in Indy if not before!
