The mid year meeting was held at the Four Points Sheraton in Lexington on December 4th-6th. Many successes were shared and plans were formed to complete the year strong. So far this year we are 10 members ahead of this time last year in membership. State Deputy Frank Shay commented that after visiting over 60 of the councils so far this year, he is proud of the number and variety of programs that the councils are doing. Frank also handed out several awards that had been earned.
