Director’s Notes

The Legislative Session will only have a couple weeksleftonceyoureceive this, but believe me, the lastdaysaretheLONGEST days. At this writing, we have made good progress on many of the League’s goals, although admittedly our agenda, given the election year, wasn’t as aggressive as in some past years.

We are looking forward to seeing you all as we visit the District Meeting communities of Webster, Huron, Tea, Wagner, Miller, Eureka, Mobridge, Philip, Hot Springs, and Belle Fourche. We find such great events and sites in each town we go to, we really wish this opportunity to “leave the beaten path” were something all of our citizens and visitors could have.
