Your Club Needs You!
Check out these opportunities for club service:
Club Secretary-in-Training | Because Eric starts the President-elect training soon, we need to identify someone to assume this important club role that serves as the focal point for communication for the membership and Board. Duties include such tasks as maintaining Board records, answering email inquiries about the club, sending communications to club members as needed, and coordinating with membership directors on new and existing members.
Treasurer-in-Training | Pete plans to step down from this role next summer, and we need someone to shadow him now and be ready to take over for the 2026-27 year. The treasurer processes funds collected, provides financial reports to the Board, and works closely with the President, Board, and membership. Duties include invoicing members, depositing checks, working with the accounting firm, and approving invoices. This is a big club
commitment!
Greeter Scheduler | We need someone to handle scheduling our weekly meeting greeters from October through next June. Duties are to secure volunteers, send weekly reminders, and communicate about such logistics as where to place our meeting sign, etc.
Dud Larus, Pat Walsh, and Pete Pfeiffer gathered donations at end of drive.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the food drive for DEAM. We collected a lot of good food for our community helpers to distribute!

Friday, August 22 Recap
Kalia Morrison gave the invocation. Dan DeWoskin introduced our speaker, Lisa Moultrie, Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney of DeKalb County.
Advocating for Alternative Justice for Our Youth
Speaker Lisa Moultrie talked about alternative justice solutions, and keeping teens in school and out of jail. When young people get in legal trouble, too often a community connection is lacking. She emphasized how critical it is to help create and support community connections for such young people, and described using community service programs as vehicles for steering them to community involvement. She serves as board chair for COR; learn more at their website.
