Hello all my favorite Area 72 Service Warriors!
District 45 has been busy, busy, busy! As the Sun warms the our hearts and spirits our body and mind follows.
One of the coolest happenings is that a meeting has been gaining traction at JBLM one of the largest military bases in the country, and is located in D45. Pierce county has always had a difficult time maintaining a consistent meeting on base even though with 35K service members we know it’s needed tremendously. We were able to facilitate their first business meeting and was apparent was confusion regarding military members donating, and before this awesome meeting of Army and Air Force personnel could elect a GSR was to make sure they could properly collect 7th tradition and fund one. More to come on this.
District 45 has been working hard to book multiple Area 72 events, including a really cool viewing party of one of the pre conferences. We have also put together hosting of DCM School on May 3rd, A Delegate Report Back, a Pre Assembly, Archives Quarterly, and CPC Quarterly.
We work with an ongoing budget that has worked for us and our body voted to continue to do so as opposed to put together a more formal proposed/Actual accounting budget.
Our Gratitude Banquet will be Nov1st and a Gratitude Picnic is held in July. We plan on working towards updating our District handbook.
John C. – D45 DCM
