District 72 Report (East & South County) - January 2023

There will NOT be a District meeting in December. Our next scheduled District Meeting was scheduled for January21st but that is the same day as the SCWS Sharing of Service Workshop which will be on Zoom. I want to encourage you and your group members to take advantage of this great opportunity since I know one of the challenges since Covid hit has been getting members involved with service. The workshop topic is “Building Relationships through Service”, and it is scheduled from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with a break for lunch midday.  Please consider attending this free Zoom event. Click here for the meeting details and Zoom Meeting IDs and Passcodes. 

I have rescheduled the January District meeting for January 28th. It will be a Zoom Meeting unless GRs are notified of a change. Meeting ID is 836 1416 1190 and the Passcode is 742642. The major agenda item will be starting the process to elect a new District Representative. We will also discuss moving back to the 4th Saturday of the month since the third Saturday is when the Assemblies and the Area World Service Committee meetings are scheduled. We will also be planning for District sponsored events for 2023. My term technically ends at the end of this year, but I will facilitate the transition as has been done in the past.  I am hopeful that there is someone ready to step up to serve soon since my health has hampered my ability to effectively serve this past year. If you want to know more about the DR position  you can read about the role and responsibilities of the DR in Guideline G-37 which is available to download from the Guidelines page on the WSO website.
