Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! District Governor Jim Squire |
Special Thanks to our Speaker from Last Week - Dr. Chip BraggWe had a wonderful presentation from Dr. Chipp Bragg last week! He shared information from his fifth book, Patriots in Exile: Charleston Rebels in St. Augustine during the American Revolution, which will be released in June of this year. (#5) about the Revolutionary Army. Chip’s lifelong passion for American history has resulted in the publication of more than fifty articles and four books—two about the Civil War and two about the Revolutionary War. We were treated to many great stories and articles from his book and learned much about events as they happened during the Revolutionary Way. Thanks for a great presentation! |

Invite from Andre Marria for the National Presentation Teen Pregnancy Prevention InitiativeThe Boys and Girls Club Youth Leadership Council is participating in the close out Office of Population Affairs National Expo next Wednesday, May 27th at 9:00 am on ZOOM.
This is a National Presentation Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initative and only 50 programs are being showcased.
