Erik A was elected as the co-chair for the unity position
Jake – went to the district 2 planning committee for the fall workshop; expressed interest in us participating. We need to be involved in general service to bid in the future. They need help setting up chairs and tables, and delivering food to people. November 7th and 8th at the Tooele Alano Club. Going to post signup sheet on slack. It’s hybrid. We just need to show up and be willing to be of service. Go that day in person, wear a mask, and be of service.
Group discussed; yes, we’re willing to help.
Jake – we should get flyers made for this meeting so we can distribute to local districts and they know we exist; when we meet. Would like paper flyers and digital. We could include the zoom info.
Gibson is the flyer person.
Jake – we talk about the traditions once a month at 6pm (second Sunday)
Group should read tradition 1 before next month’s meeting.
