Lite Raise

The Kiwanis International tour for the Michigan District continued as we stopped by Divisions 3 and 7 to work with the amazing leaders in attendance last week. It was so great seeing both new and familiar faces on this beautiful journey. Thank you to the Lt. Governor of Division 3, Sarah Hayden, and the Lt. Governor of Division 7, Greg Smith, for hosting such an enjoyable event. A special thank you to the Lite Raise team for all the work you do behind the scenes. It is a humbling and surreal feeling to speak at an event and see your company's software being used. The journey continues as we travel to meet with Division 10 and Division 17 leaders this week. I look forward to seeing you all soon!
