District 8 - - Cheryl C

District 8 successfully hosted WTA in November. Many members helped with registration, hospitality, a skit, workshops and meetings, and much more. There was a glitch with the disposal of left-over food at the end of the assembly, but I’m satisfied that volunteers did the best they knew how, and often went above and beyond what was expected or needed. Thanks to all, including those outside District 8

A reminder of the new District 8 officers for 2012 through 2014:

Johnny J of Glass House will be DR, with no alt-DR at present.

Joyce G will be treasurer.

Cheryl Carrington will work with public outreach in the surrounding counties in which there are already established meetings.

After WTA , we will finish out the year working on a new budget for District 8,
