7.We received a letter from Samantha Twomey a student at Marquette Un. who is the
Metro, Circle K Lt. Gov. She asks if she can come to our Sept. 8th Board meeting to
dicuss starting a Circle K club at Concordia Un.  We will invite her and suggest
that she bring another representative with her. If not the 8th then to our club
meeting on the 11th.
She suggests that perhaps we could co-sponsor with The North Shore club. This will
be considered.

will match this. Ralph  feels that this may be our last  Childrens hospital fund
raiser due to changes in the National Program and our shift to other projects.
