A sincere thank you to District 9 for hosting the October Election Assembly today. The Spirit of Rotation will be alive and well in Area 43 today as we elect our new trusted servants.

The next one is Sunday October 26th.
Do you remember the Pre-Conference in 2024?
As dedicated round tables you presented your best suggestions which I carried to the 74th General Service Conference.

I have also posted the letter from our General Manager Bob W. below for those who did not receive it, as well. May we all be grateful for our sobriety, as we participate in this amazing Spirit of Rotation to elect our Panel 76 Officers!
