Thanks to Liz for stepping in to chair last month's meeting. Dale was still recovering from surgery. We will meet in person next month on December 11th at St. John’s in the Wilderness.

Elections will be held at that meeting. Also the budget will be discussed.

Next week is the fall assembly at Lake Junaluska November 12-14th. It is not far from Hendersonville so people are encouraged to drive over for the business portion Saturday from 12-6:00. There are eight agenda items to be voted on. They are all listed on the District 71 website. We went through them and all of the items were approved by the members present.

Elections will be held in December. Here is the list of positions open:

Stephanie dropped off the call before giving a report. Her job is Bridging the Gap primarily, but our treatment chair resigned so we need to get her some help with treatment.
