Kip reported on the District meeting held last Wednesday.  Our Club had five members attend.  The main discussion was the consolidation/change of the numbers of Districts which will result in reducing from 25 to 19 district.  The change is scheduled to take effect in October.  This is due to the decrease in membership in the clubs.
