On Thursday, August 21, 2025, we held our "State of the Cities" Membership Luncheon at Orlando's Event Center. We began our meeting by saying the Pledge of Allegiance and welcoming our City Officials and guests. Next, we welcomed new members and had them introduce themselves.

After enjoying lunch and networking at our tables, we began our "State of the Cities" program. First, we heard from Mayor Sydney Clark from the City of Olivette. Next, we heard from Mayor Robert Hoffman from the City of Creve Coeur. Both Mayor Clark and Mayor Hoffman shared exciting information on the accomplishments and continued growth in our area.

Following the presentations, we announced our 50/50 winner and distributed a few copies of Bob Kolf's book, "Discovering Your Purpose in Today's World."
