Letter from the LTG

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all been having a nice January so far. I’ve been freezing to death these past few days. My goal this month is to encourage and assist your clubs to attend the annual convention, LEDCON! I am also still trying to get Belton New Tech to become active again. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask me. I look forward to seeing you at the DCM! Yours in Friendship and Service, Kacie Nguyen
