This morning we collected diapers for the Oyate Center's Mom's Tour (https://themomstour.info/) The tour is focused on reducing the unacceptably high maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the U.S., especially among Black and American Indian/Alaska Native moms. Thank you for your donations and Scott Van Dam for organizing this.
Linda Peterson donated Foundation points to thank Sandy White Shield and Kibbe Brown for all their hard work with the White Clay Makers Space and human trafficking. They each received a Paul Harris Fellow. Congratulations!
Our speaker today was Miss South Dakota, Joelle Simpson. Joelle is from Rapid City and is currently studying Medical Laboratory Sciences at the University of Minnesota. Her platform focuses on Nurturing Nature. She has a passion for penguins and the black footed ferret, which has successfully thrived here in SD through captive breeding. Joelle is also an accomplished harpist and figure skater, (a quad gold medalist). She will be competing for Miss America in January. If you would like to see Joelle’s upcoming series on YouTube called Nurturing Nature you can follow her on facebook (miss South Dakota), or visit her web page at misssd.org.
