DCM report (Jennifer R.):
Thank you all for dealing with the “No Agenda” situation from the May Dist 21 meeting and running the meeting without me. My emails came back that I had sent to Jon to print off so he never received them. I had a wonderful time with my daughter in Portland and I appreciate Jon for chairing and Jenni H for grabbing the Area 41 September Newsletters while she attending the Area Reunion.
I received an email from Brian W. on Friday that unfortunately, he will not be able to speak at the Dist 21 Unity Picnic, so we will need to find a replacement speaker and get new fliers printed up. I will need to have some help distributing fliers once they are revised and printed off.
