On Friday, August 14th, the Uhs-Kehk youth council members were invited to have dinner with the district one council representatives, Councilman Whitman and Councilman Jackson.
The evening was full of sharing stories, goals, insight, and inspiration! It’s always a pleasure to meet with our council, especially in a relaxed setting, to get to know each other better and strengthen our connection!
Thank you district one councilmen for setting aside time to have an amazing dinner with our young leaders! 🌊
