Hello Family;
Gene and I attended the Southwest Area service meeting last month and I would like to thank them for their welcome. We introduced ourselves and made ourselves available if they needed anything. This month we are planning on attending the LDA's ASC.

Next month on July 20,21,22 in Ontario at the Doubletree Hotel we will be attending the WSZF. I would like to invite you all to drop by some time over the weekend and see what is happening, I think it would be very informative to everyone. I would like to ask all of the RCM's to bring back some phone-lines information that I can share at the Forum. One of the Regions in the forum is requesting that as a topic. Also if there are any questions or topics that your area's or us as a region have let me know and we can discuss them there. The main focus of this forum is to share information and help each other. I will be putting in a request for funds for this event in the amount of $550.00.
