This post submitted by Andrea Mason, Vice President of STAR Events.  Instead of the regular chapter spotlight, Andrea gives us an update on the recent Region 11 Regional Meeting.

Region 11 had their regional meeting in Joplin at Missouri Southern State University, on Tuesday October 12th.  During the planning meetings the regional officers decided to have a regional service project to help Life Choices in Joplin. They had members attending the meeting bring a baby item.  They collected 420 items, plus some money taht was given to the Tri-County Pregnancy Center in Aurora.  Life Choices was there at the meeting and thanked the region for doing such a great job for the donation and really appreciated the help.

Also, during the meeting, the following chapters were recognized:

• Largest Chapter - Greenfield High School
• Most Improved Chapter - Southwest High School
• Most Members Present  - Lockwood High School

Along with the award the National STAR Event participants were recognized.  Retired Greenfield advisor Renee Meents was awarded the Distinguished Membership Award, and the Fairview Christain Church in Carthage received the Honorary Membership Award.

Region 11 had Justin Lookadoo as their keynote speaker and kept the crowd busy with laughter.  He gave a great presentation over relationships and even said he had a good time speaking.  Thanks to all the members, advisors, and officers for making this meeting a great success!
