1. For the first time ever, last month the Intergroup meeting was held prior to Disctrict meeting so report Caroline gave last month was actually on time.

2. At last Intergroup meeting, she was elected as Liaison between GS/Intergroup, so regarding mentions today about Grapevine not having any meetings currently, she should have report from April & Grapevine soon and so should have update on what’s happening with their meetings by next District meeting.

4. Rick sent out email from Rhonda regarding what three other Areas in Pacific Region are doing safely reopen their meetings. This is very helpful resource. Check it out and take it to your groups.

5. Very important – meeting schedule on central office website is currently a mess. A lot of the information is not just outdated but flat out incorrect. Please encourage groups to send emails to central office to confirm their meetings and the meeting information: whether meeting is in person, live, outdoor, times, location, etc. Please this is very important, reach out to groups and send updated information to Leslie at central office via the link on the website.
