Assembly
Suggested
that we could invite one rep from each group to attend the GR mtg as a way to welcome group members into the
GR group
D64 is
within D63 so a determination will need to be made as to who to contact re:
workshop and
GR mtgs
Can
someone take 2 service positions? Refer to Tradition 7 – groups are
self-supporting even in terms of service
