  • Meet and Greet location for Aug 15^th.  The submissions we received (Paseo and the Raytown Wellness Center) were not feasible.  Cost and insurance were the factors. We are still in the hunt for a location.

  • Longview Lake is a proposed location for a cookout on Sunday, Aug 17^th after church services. Longview offers good privacy to hold one.

  • Lots of names have been submitted for a church to host our class Sunday Aug 17^th.  Toni Kirkwood-Ealy has been collecting the names. They will be listed in an upcoming post. Selection will be made by “pulling a name out of a hat”.
  • Time to make consideration on a Keynote speaker.
