August has been a busy month so far. We held a blood drive on August 4 and collected close to 15 donated pints of blood. August 5 we held our membership meeting both in person and on zoom. Our speaker was ISHMAEL HERNANDEZ, President of Freedom and Virtue Institute and his topic was Theories of Race.
