Messages from Area 41 committees, etc.-<\/p>\n

Area 41 Corrections Chair needs information from groups\/districts about corrections meetings (day\/time, facility, contact person) to create a statewide database for corrections\/meetings.  This will also aid the committee in targeting their efforts to the facilities that have the least\/none meetings.  Please email Amy with this information or bring information to the next district meeting.<\/p>\n

Bridging the Gap-new website:  www.bridging<\/a>thegapnebraska.org.   DCM will give GSRs new forms for bridging the gap.  Please distribute at groups and return forms to Amy at next district meeting.  1 year of sobriety, full names will be on list.<\/p>\n

Area chair:  If there are questions about voting items, please do not hesitate to call the committee chair to find out more information about the voting item.  This would help make the voting process at Area go more smoothly and eliminate much confusion.<\/p>\n
