COSMOPOLITAN SWEETEST DAY OF GOLF AND DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD BANQUET - 2022

Two club traditions that happen every fall are our SDOG event and our DSA Banquet. This year was no exception! Our SDOG event took place on Sept 13 at The Country Club of Sioux Falls and was a great success again! Our DSA Banquet took place on Oct 13 and we honored Greg Sands for his extraordinary contributions to our community. At the Banquet we also made check presentations of $15,000 each to Camp Gilbert and the Veteran's Community Project. These were the funds raised from the SDOG event! See the pictures below.

COSMOPOLITAN NORTH CENTRAL FEDERATION CONVENTION

Seven Sioux Falls Cosmos/guests attended the NCF convention in Rapid City, April 29-May 1, 2022. Because of Covid, we haven't met as NCF for two years so it was good to celebrate together. Governor John Duffield and the Rapid City club did a marvelous job of hosting! Our Sioux Falls Noon club submitted nominations for 4 awards and three brought home Federation honors and so will be submitted for consideration at the nternational Convention in Sioux City in July: Cosmo of the Year - Melvina Newman; Member Community Service - Matt Smith; and Patrick J, Hodgins Award - Bill Kubat. Federations officers for the 2022-23 Cosmo year are Governor, Melvina Newman and Governor-Elect, Ludene McLeod.

Paws Saving Lives

For easy understanding and branding purposes, the "Smooch a Pooch" program is now known as the "Paws Saving Lives" program.  This program is being led by CI's Rick Swansboro from Rockford, Illinois.
