DCM report (Jennifer R.):
Our Dist 21 Unit Picnic had an awesome turnout! Things seemed to run so smooth. Thanks to all the group members, GSRs , and officers who participated and thanks to the speakers for sharing about how awesome their groups are. I personally thought it was very interesting and rewarding to learn about the different groups in our District. We had 39 +kids in attendance.
The Area 41 Registrar has sent me a spreadsheet with all the active groups in our district and I will be working on contacting some of the groups to make sure we have current contacts and information regarding their groups. I will do my best to have this done prior to our Area 41 conference in September.
Yours in Service, Jennifer R

Background: Our delegate Leon A passed a PowerPoint presentation that was being used in corrections work in New York State.
