The August 6 meeting was very informative. John Mertz, our president-elect, opened the meeting which was followed by Bob Smith with the Spirtual Aims. Earlier in the day, seven members were at Angier Elementary School to distribute school supplies to students. Mike Nye acknowledged the members who participated and reminded us of the Saturday event at North Harnett Primary School.

Tracy Gaines, our member and also the advisor for the Key Club at Harnett Central HS, introduced Claire Howell who gave a presentation titled "Amplify Your Impact" to encourage students at HCHS to join and be active. She also shared events scheduled through December and answered several questions afterwards. It looks like HCHS Key Club will be off to a great start when school starts.

A surprise closing presentation by Mike Nye, our member and the current Div 11 Lt. Governor, recognizing Tracy Gaines on her support of the Key Club at HCHS. She was presented with a Kiwanis Centennial Yearbook and gift card.
