The club reflected positively on last week’s presentation by District Governor Mike Kloss, expressing appreciation for both the presentation and member engagement. Budget planning is underway, with a draft expected by June 3 and final approval required by June 30 in accordance with bylaws. Members are encouraged to submit suggestions early in the process. It was also noted that the Outreach Committee budget will be separated in the next fiscal year, and there are available funds for local projects that will be discussed further. Additionally, the 10K raffle and auction will once again feature the Hawaii house, and the club’s bylaws have officially been approved through a member vote.
