Greetings Calumet District!
As we welcome the month of October and a new season, my hope is that we are finishing the final quarter of this year strong and faithful to the call of social work. I would like to welcome new and returning members. We thank you for your commitment to our chapter and our work as an organization. Just a reminder, next month is the deadline for license renewal. Please be on the lookout for our chapter CEU events.
All the best,
Latesha Newson, MSW, LCSW
