This weekend we hosted the District Conference here in Rapid City at the Holiday Inn Downtown. It was well attended and had a great slate of presentations, speakers, and activities. We had inspirational talks from Dr. Jacob Weasel, the first Native American to summit Mt. Everest, John Ockenfels, Polio Pilots, and President’s Representative Andrea Kraus. We learned a lot about Peace Schlors and Interpol, human trafficking, polio, RYLA & youth exchange. The breakout sessions were terrific and we dedicated the Peace Pole at Memorial Park.
It was a fun, informative conference. Thank you to the planning committee for your awesome work.
