We are delighted to announce that our esteemed District Governor, John Curtis, will be serving as the speaker for our upcoming meeting. It is a privilege to have him address the club, and we are eagerly looking forward to his insightful remarks. He will be joined by our Assistant Governor Mike Bell.

During the meeting, District Governor Curtis expressed his desire for the club to engage in a meaningful service project. In line with his recommendation, we will be organizing a Hygiene Kit Packing activity. This initiative aims to support the Streetside Shower organization in its noble mission of providing individuals in need with access to hot showers in their mobile bathrooms. To learn more about their inspiring work, you can visit their website at https://cw33.com/2018/06/05/morning-hope-chance-encounter-inspires-north-texas-man-to-bring-showers-to-homeless/.

This service project presents a valuable opportunity for us to contribute to the welfare of our community and make a tangible difference in the lives of those facing hardships. By actively participating in the Hygiene Kit Packing activity, we can extend a helping hand to those in need and foster a spirit of compassion within our club.

We encourage all members to come prepared to engage in this worthwhile endeavor and join us in creating a positive impact. Let us embrace this opportunity to embody the true essence of service and make this meeting a memorable one.
