DCM report (Jennifer R.):

Since we met last, Becky N had created a flyer for the Dist 21 Unity Picnic, which i forwarded a copy of to all the Dist 21 GSRs and contacts, as well as Area 41 and Intergroup.  The flyer looked great! I briefly discussed (texted) a possible budget for the Unity Picnic and on top of the $80 Rent, Jon felt like if expenses can be limited to $50, this should be acceptable based on what we currently have in the Dist 21 bank account.

Tom forwarded me Ron’s email address from Intergroup, so I have added him to my list and will continue forwarding meeting minutes so he can updated the intergroup website efficiently.

I was unable to attend the Area 41 Reunion in June as i had a family function to attend.  I hope all were able to attend had a wonderful time and learned a lot from Kit’s Delegate Report.

Yours in Service, Jennifer R
